Antitrust lawsuit
In January 1991, American Video Entertainment filed an antitrust lawsuit against Nintendo of America and its parent company, Nintendo. Seeking US$105 million in damages and filed by antitrust lawyer Joseph Alioto, the suit alleged that Nintendo's use of technology to prevent unlicensed games from running on their Nintendo Entertainment System console violated United States antitrust laws. The lawsuit was settled three years later, under the terms of a secrecy order.
