Nintendo and The Pokémon Company seek injunction against Palworld plus fine and damages, developer says

Palworld developer Pocketpair has revealed details of Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s lawsuit which alleges that the game infringes on multiple patents.

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s lawsuit was filed just weeks before Palworld’s PlayStation 5 version launched at the end of September.

However, they relate to a pre-existing “parent” patent filed by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company in December 2021, preceding Palworld’s launch, meaning they could indeed still apply to Palworld now.
