Brothers' Game Genie outwits Nintendo at all levels to win
The off-screen battle began when Nintendo gained an injunction against the brothers, banning Game Genie's sale in the US and Canada for a year. The company pledged a £10m bond into court to back its claim that the brothers had breached copyright.
Nintendo's injunction expired in June 1991, but Richard, 25, and David, 26, had decided on a challenge. A California court rejected Nintendo's claims, then lawyers tried three times to get the ruling reversed. On 22 March, the US Supreme Court backed the Darlings. Nintendo can appeal no further, and the money has been shared between the brothers and US and Canadian distributors. The Darlings collected £2.3m.
