Galoob Win Lawsuit: Lewis Galoob Toys Inc., based in South San Francisco, said it has been awarded a $15-million judgment against Nintendo of America Inc. The award represents compensation to Galoob for profits it lost for the period from June, 1990, through July, 1991, when an injunction obtained by Nintendo prevented Galoob from selling its Game Genie video game enhancer. Nintendo had contended that Genie, an attachment that extends game play on video programs, violated its copyright. The judgment awarded by U.S. 9th District Judge Fern M. Smith in San Francisco follows her July, 1991, ruling that Galoob had been wrongfully enjoined from selling the attachment.
