Gamevice Challenging The Giant Nintendo

Gamevice is the manufacturer who with there game control-gadget Wikipad has a patent of witch they are claiming Nintendo has acted against, and therefore need to cough up a hefty amount of dollars for the patent-breach. Engadget reports that Wikipad has, and always has had the perfect solution for removable joycons that the Switch has received praise for, something that can become hard for Nintendo to deny. Except suing Nintendo for money, Gamevice also wants Nintendo to stop all sales of the Switch, with immediate effect.

This is what Engadget says about the whole thing.

"The Nintendo Switch certainly isn't the first gaming tablet, but is it directly riffing on others' ideas? Gamevice thinks so. The accessory maker is suing Nintendo for allegedly violating a patent for concepts used in the Wikipad, its gaming-oriented Android slate, as well as its namesake add-on controllers for phones and tablets. According to the suit, the Switch and its removable Joy-Con controllers are too close to Gamevice's vision of a combination of detachable game controller and a device with a "flexible bridge section." Not surprisingly, the lawsuit calls for both damages and a ban on Switch sales."
