Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair, they announced on Wednesday.
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.
