FWIW, both Nintendo JP and UK refer to it as a USB Type-C connector https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Nintendo-Switch/Specifications/Specifications-1176277.html#1 https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Nintendo-Switch/Specifications/Sp... https://www.nintendo.co.jp/hardware/switch/specs/ https://www.nintendo.co.jp/hardware/switch/specs/

I wonder whether it would (would have been?) possible to trademark the USB-C shape to enforce compatibility.
