Gamevice Inc. claims that the Nintendo Switch infringes the patent of its detachable controller. Gamevice requires restrictions on the order of such goods and prohibits the sale of such mobile hosts in the United States. ITC stated that it has not made any decision on the case, but from Historically, bans should be difficult to happen.
Gamevice also indicted Nintendo for similar reasons in August last year, but court records show Gamevice’s decision to voluntarily quit in October.
Gamevice provides additional handle products for iPhone, iPad and Android, but the principle is not exactly the same as that of the Switch handle, including additional features such as infrared sensors, and the handle can still be used after being removed from the Switch. The only similarity is that The controller is also connected by sliding down the top of the device.
