Gamevice, a peripheral maker that produces controller attachments for the iPad, is suing Nintendo (again) for allegedly stealing their ideas. The company, which holds patents for affixing joystick controllers to opposite sides of a mobile device, wants Switch consoles blocked from the country.
…though Nintendo frequently is sued for patent infringement, this doesn’t seem to resemble a “patent troll” case. Gamevice is suing over devices it manufactures, not merely designs it holds. Also, a large number of so-called “patent troll” cases have been filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, though a recent Supreme Court ruling seeks to put a stop to that.
