Nintendo has filed a patent for its Nintendo Switch Lite design with the Japan Patent Office. The listing explains simply that it is “an electronic computer capable of playing a game” along with the names of the two creators of the filing, Yui Ehara and Junichiro Miyatake.
The handheld-only console released back in September of last year, so it’s interesting to see the patent only being filed now. Still, Nintendo is known for vigorously protecting its designs and securing a patent like this is vital.
