I'll verify the company's profile details before writing.
Nintendo of America Inc. — Overwhelmingly known by the short name Nintendo, this is the U.S. subsidiary of Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 7974). It was established in 1980 and is headquartered at 4600 150th Ave. NE, Redmond, Washington, serving as the headquarters for Nintendo's operations in the Americas. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the publicly traded Japanese parent. The parent reported consolidated net sales of ¥1,164.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, with roughly 8,700 consolidated employees; the subsidiary does not publish separate headcount or revenue figures.
Operations — Nintendo of America is an operating company, not a licensing shell. It handles sales, marketing, distribution, localization, and customer support for Nintendo's hardware, software, and accessories across the Americas. Product lines include the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch family of consoles (including Switch Lite and OLED Model), first-party game franchises, the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, amiibo interactive figures, and mobile applications. The parent's own earnings materials attribute the bulk of net sales to Nintendo Switch hardware and software.
Litigation posture — The tracked case data shows one appearance, all as a defendant and none as a plaintiff, which is the classic profile of a large operating company targeted by third-party patent holders. That single appearance sits in the U.S. International Trade Commission rather than a district court, so no Eastern District of Texas clustering applies.
Notable case — The tracked case is Technology Properties Limited LLC et al. v. Acer Inc. et al. (filed July 24, 2012), a Section 337 investigation brought by Technology Properties Ltd., Patriot Scientific Corp., and Alliacense over the Moore Microprocessor Patent (MMP) portfolio, chiefly U.S. Patent No. 5,809,336 on a variable-speed microprocessor clock. The ITC named Nintendo among 13 respondents (alongside Acer, Amazon, Samsung, Huawei, and others); press reporting identifies the respondent as Nintendo Co., Ltd. The Commission terminated the investigation in December 2013 with a finding of no violation of Section 337.
