Official Nintendo & Pokemon Company Are Suing Palworld Developers

[Absalon]

This lawsuit, which was filed in the Tokyo District Court, seeks an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages “on the grounds that Palworld, a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights.”

“Nintendo will continue to take necessary actions against any infringement of its intellectual property rights, including the Nintendo brand itself, to protect the intellectual properties it has worked hard to establish over the years,” it said in a statement.

David Hansel, an intellectual property and digital media lawyer at Hansel Henson, told VGC earlier this year that Nintendo would need “a smoking gun” for any copyright case to be successful.

“It’s down to Nintendo to absolutely prove copying, not merely taking influence,” he told VGC.

Life has three guarantees: death, taxes, and a Nintendo lawsuit.

They were always going to find a reason to sue who gives a fuck what it was for, Japanese courts have none of the protections US courts have Nintendo will autowin any lawsuit, which they dont even have to do because they can just bankrupt pocketpair in court.

Is it really Nintendo and the Pokémon company? Nintendo is already a third of the company , but it sounds catchy if you use the third to make Nintendo and the Pokémon company out of it.

Screw Nintendo. They're just salty they haven't made a good Pokémon game in decades. I hope they lose badly.
