The US International Trade Commission is taking a closer look at the Switch, due to some patent infringement claims by Gamevice. Gamevice claims the Switch infringes on patents they hold for detachable controllers. Gamevice reached out to the ITC to request a "limited exclusion order," which would keep Nintendo from importing the Switch into the United States. The ITC is yet to make a decision on the matter.

Thanks to Sligeach_eire for the heads up!
