According to the legal complaint which was delivered to Cygames on May 10, Konami alleges that Cygames’ Uma Musume Pretty Derby game has infringed on Konami patents.
The Uma Musume Pretty Derby game launched in February 2021 for iOS and Android.
CyberAgent’s announcement noted that Cygames had been in discussions with Konami regarding patent rights for the “game system and program” of Uma Musume Pretty Derby, but that Konami did not accept Cygames’ opinion, thus leading to the lawsuit.
CyberAgent’s announcement did not specify which patents Konami is claiming Uma Musume: Pretty Derby has violated.
