Nintendo sues 'Pokemon with guns' maker for patent infringement
Nintendo and The Pokémon Co. are suing Pocketpair, claiming that Palworld infringes on the “Pocket Monster” franchise’s patents, as stated by Nintendo on Thursday.
The lawsuit filed in Tokyo District Court seeks an injunction and damages, alleging multiple patent rights infringements by Palworld, according to Nintendo.
Pocketpair plans to “begin the appropriate legal proceedings and investigations” into the patent infringement claims, as stated in its response.
Palworld was incredibly popular at the beginning of the year, but already then many noticed that the creatures that can be folded into a row of slaves look eerily similar to Pokémon.
