What's next, suing companies using yellow and red for life bars, and a character screen selection? Greedy asses.

rtcvb32: Apparently... Sonic and Knuckles must be an addon and thus is different.... (Literally you added it on :P)
I'm still trying to figure out whether Capcom had add-on games before 1994 because koei already had Romance of three kingdom IV add-on during 1994 summer(slightly earlier than Sonic and Knuckles).

I believe, some company (probably Capcom) did register a patent for putting a life bar above a character.

hedwards: I'm guessing that they're assuming that they can get a settlement out of it rather than actually litigate it.

Rusty_Gunn: To me that sounds like Capcom has become a "patent troll"

My, how the mighty have fallen
Hmm... you might be right. Maybe that's why Capcom "suggested" a licensing fee of 5 to 10 percent as part of the lawsuit. If that is why they did this, that is pretty sad.
