The Pokémon Company has settled a legal dispute with Guangzhou Maichi Network Technology Co., the developers of Pocket Monster: Remake, a game that closely mimicked the original Pokémon games. Following a lawsuit that began in 2021, the Chinese company publicly apologized for their copyright infringement and agreed to pay damages. The game, which had been highly successful and profitable, has now been removed from the market. This case highlights the ongoing issue of unauthorized game clones and the enforcement of intellectual property rights in the gaming industry.
Our copyright infringement and acts of unfair competition have caused significant economic losses to the rights holders and severely damaged the image of the original Pokémon Video Games.
The Game has now been completely removed from the market and operations have ceased. We have paid a substantial economic price and incurred significant reputational damage.
