Nintendo alleges Palworld infringes on multiple patents.
Nintendo has announced that it, together with The Pokémon Company, is suing Palworld developer Pocketpair for what it says are multiple infringements on patent rights. The companies filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court yesterday, and are seeking an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages.Nintendo Co., Ltd., together with The Pokémon Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court against Pocketpair, Inc.
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. Palworld was released in early access on PC and Xbox in January 2024, after years of build-up in which fans started calling the game “Pokémon with guns.” The game was almost immediately successful, but attracted a host of criticism and allegations, including, that Pocketpair “copied” Pokémon designs, and that the company ripped and modified models from Pokémon games to create its Pals. None of these have been proven to be true.
