When I google for Wikipad pictures, I get the one in the video... but not the one in the picture in the OP.

The Wikipad 7 looks nothing like the Joycons and doesn't offer the same features. 

doesn't matter what features it has. Example: In 2011 Apple sued Samsung claiming they "copied" the designs of the iPhone because the curves on their phone looks similar, and won.

I think Wikipad might have a case here.

Weren't there something similar back then when nintendo patented the D-Pad for their NES controller? Other companies avoided the patent by simply implementing it slightly differently into their controllers.

I feel that this one is somehow similar.
