Gamevice was granted a patent for the Gamevice controller in 2015, titled "Combination Computing Device and Game Controller with Flexible Bridge Section," on which the company alleges the Nintendo Switch is infringing.

The major glaring issue with this accusation of patent infringement is right in the title of the patent, namely: "Game Controller with Flexible Bridge Section." The Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con controllers are not attached to each other in any way, and can even be used separately from one another. They have no flexible bridge section.

Gamevice alleges that the body of the Nintendo Switch itself is the bridge section, when in fact it is actually a separate device with which the Joy-Cons communicate and can optionally attach onto.

Nintendo did not immediately respond to request for comment.
