Nintendo, The Pokémon Company Sue Palworld Game Developer Pocketpair

Nintendo announced on Thursday that it and The Pokémon Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Pocketpair, the game developer behind the Palworld game, the day before.

The suit claims that the game infringes on Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s patent rights, and seeks an injunction against infringement as well as compensation for damages.

The Pokémon Company released a statement shortly after Palworld’s release that it is investigating a possible copyright infringement by an unnamed game company.
