The current CEO is Phillip Hyun. ==History== ==Legal issues== In August 2017, Gamevice filed a lawsuit against Nintendo in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, alleging that the design of the Nintendo Switch conflicts with its patent on the design for the Wikipad. The lawsuit sought damages on existing Switch sales and banning further sales of the console. The lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by Gamevice in October 2017. However, in March 2018, Gamevice initiated a second patent infringement lawsuit on Nintendo related to a different set of patents. Gamevice also sought action through the United States International Trade Commission related to patent infringement under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, and was seeking to block imports of the Switch into the United States. On October 10, 2019, the lawsuit against Nintendo ended, with the U.S. International Trade Commission affirming the conclusion of the presiding administrative law judge's initial determination that no violation of Section 337 had occurred. On March 27, 2020, Gamevice filed a new patent-infringement lawsuit at the USITC against Nintendo in addition to appealing the previous case that it lost. The lawsuit ended in favor of Nintendo. ==See also== Wii U GamePad Archos GamePad JXD S7300 Nvidia Shield Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch 2 PlayStation Portal Backbone One Backbone Labs Razer Inc.
