A European court Thursday lowered the fines levied against
Japanese video game maker Nintendo (7974.OK) and its distributors
for preventing parallel trade in its computer gaming consoles and
game cartridges.
The fine, imposed by the European Commission in 2002, was
reduced to EUR119 million from EUR167.8 million.
Parallel trade is the practice of trading goods from lower-cost
countries into companies which already have a higher-priced supply
from the manufacturer.
