Palworld developer Pocketpair has responded to news that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have filed a patent lawsuit against it.
Nintendo and TPC filed the lawsuit at the Tokyo District Court on Wednesday, seeking an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages “on the grounds that Palworld… infringes multiple patent rights.”
Now, in its own statement published on Thursday, Pocketpair has said it believes it’s “truly unfortunate that we will be forced to allocate significant time to matters unrelated to game development” due to the lawsuit.
