Nintendo, together with The Pokémon Firm, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit within the Tokyo District Court docket towards Pocketpair Inc., the builders of Palworld. Can’t think about why.

“Nintendo will proceed to take vital actions towards any infringement of its mental property rights, together with the Nintendo model itself, to guard the mental properties it has labored exhausting to ascertain over time.”
We’ll be following this one carefully.
