Nintendo Palworld lawsuit seeks $65,700 in damages
Briefly

Nintendo and the Pokémon Company are seeking approximately $65,700 in compensation from their lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair, indicating their focus on patent infringement rather than copyright.
Despite demanding only $65,700, Nintendo's legal actions may indicate a limited strategy, as they pursue claims based on patents granted after Palworld's early access.
The patents in question relate to gameplay mechanics unique to Pokémon, including battling mechanics and monster riding, which the Pokémon franchise has maintained since its inception.
Pocketpair has pointed out that the patents were filed and granted after Palworld's early access release, posing questions about the validity of the infringement claims.
