That isn't patent infringement, its trademark infringement. Nintendo clearly found something else.Nah they gonna win. Palworld devs literally ripped Pokemon character models/assets from official games, made like 1% changes, then slapped them into Palworld.
There was a Twitter thread that showed the shocking similarity in character model geometry for a few of the characters between both games. I imagine that's what's lead to this lawsuit.
Most likely, the two sides will settle out of court, but it does make Sony in particular look a bit foolish going into the joint partnership thing knowing this legal grey area was hanging in the background. Sure, the allure of their own Pokemon was too strong to resist, but there are safe ways to do it (Yu Gi Oh, Digimon etc.), and then there's...well there's how Palworld did it
Did either of those have games where they potentially ripped Pokemon models wholesale, changed a few polygons & textures, then called it a day? I don't remember that ever happening.
That was the most obvious copy ever but they waited way too long. Pocketpair are billionaires at this point. They can fight whatever Nintendo throws at them.
Rumour is the PS5 version will be announced next week. What will happen to that. It's like Nintendo had no issues when the game was Xbox exclusive
Sorry Exanthus but sending an injunction takes 5 minutes. Anybody with eyes could tell Palword was a blatant ripoff. You don't need to build your whole case from A to Z for months before doing something.

The timing is fishy and that is that.
Exactly now we're getting closer to a playstation release they careThat was the most obvious copy ever but they waited way too long. Pocketpair are billionaires at this point. They can fight whatever Nintendo throws at them.

Well Nintendo is supposed to be best buds with Xbox so surely someone at Nintendo would've reached out to Phil Spencer & said 'hey dude wtf can you cancel that gamepass deal you have with this ripoff game, not cool man'
