The Pokémon Company and Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair seeking injunctions and compensation, claiming Palworld infringes on patents related to gameplay involving Pokémon.
The lawsuit specifically targets three patents involving gameplay mechanics essential to capturing and riding creatures, indicating a focus on innovation rather than mere design similarities.
Pocketpair reveals that the lawsuit isn't over copyright issues regarding designs, but rather disputes on the patented gameplay mechanics that outline how players interact with their creatures.
According to Pocketpair, the companies aim to halt the game’s development with an injunction, which highlights the serious legal implications of infringing on established patent rights.
