Almost every big company faces a lawsuit because they infringed on some patent made by some tiny company that no one has ever heard of. And usually, the big company wins out. However, this time its looking like Nintendo is losing this battle. A few months ago, Nintendo was sued by Anascape Ltd. because the classic controller, wavebird, and gamecube controller all infringe on their patent.
The controllers won't be banned if Nintendo pays royalties to the company, but Nintendo is going to appeal the decision in another court. Looking at the money behind the two competing companies, Nintendo will most likely win out in the end, but their might be a price jump in the classic controllers to pay for possible royalties.
