From gamasutra.com:

According to consumer news outlet GameSpot, Copper Innovations filed a patent in January of 1996 for a "Hand Held Computer Input Apparatus and Method," a method by which hardware identification numbers are assigned to device transmissions as a means of organizing their inputs and connecting them to a system.

The suit names Nintendo's Wii Remote and Nunchuk and Sony's Sixaxis controller and Blu-ray remote as the products that infringe on the company's patent, and seeks damages, interest, legal fees and a permanent injunction against both Sony and Nintendo to prevent them from manufacturing or profiting from the technology.
