Concerning software patents and video games I remember that in the early
1990s Atari sued Nintendo and Sega on very basic video games technics
(such as scrolling, sprites...).

Atari sued these companies simply because the american firm lost the
battle on the consumer market and then wanted to take its revenge in
litigation.

In fact Atari was only a company desesperatly trying to block competition
because its business strategy was wrong.
