The Pokémon Company
Nintendo Co., Ltd.
Filing Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights against Pocketpair, Inc.

Nintendo Co., Ltd. (HQ: Kyoto, Minami-ku, Japan; Representative Director and President: Shuntaro Furukawa, “Nintendo” hereafter), together with The Pokémon Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court against Pocketpair, Inc. (HQ: 2-10-2 Higashigotanda, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, “Defendant” hereafter) on September 18, 2024.
This lawsuit seeks an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds that Palworld, a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights.

Nintendo will continue to take necessary actions against any infringement of its intellectual property rights including the Nintendo brand itself, to protect the intellectual properties it has worked hard to establish over the years.

we won

You think Nintendo will win?

Patent related is this really gonna be about throwing balls to capture monsters?

palword clears the last 7 pokémon’s games

i haven’t played since ds ones

nintendo lawyers truly the biggest corporate d***suckers on earth, real throat damage hours

Arceus out now

Palworld early game is peak gaming. Late game it's pretty lame. Anyways, hope Nintendo lose this.

Nintendo got so annoying in the last 4 years

As a huge Drake fan they should try something super crazy like making a better game

It’s notoriously hard to sue for plagiarism so they had to get em with something that sticks

the character comparisons are genuinely hilarious. they deserve to get the s*** sued out of them.

Havent played the game but the monster designs do look a bit too similar. I dont think you can sue just based off the game being a monster catching game. There are other games similar to Pokemon that never got sued

They need to let us fight to the death and I'll be back in line

That is a blatant rip off. But they are sueing for patent infringement. Not copyright

DEATH TO AI SLOP GAMES

RPG mode where me and my Pokemon go hungry in the wilderness because we not getting it done

It's time for Pokemon to become Pokeman

Deserved

L tbh

Is catching animals patented?

My guess is the process of throwing a ball at them and capturing them is patented
