"Nintendo may be reaching" in its Palworld lawsuit, according to a lawyer who says it's "hard to imagine what patents" the survival game could have infringed upon

Palworld.

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair, but one lawyer claims his "gut reaction is Nintendo may be reaching."

The lawsuit in question alleges that Palworld "infringes multiple patent rights," and "seeks an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages" on those grounds. Nintendo hasn't publicly revealed what patent rights have allegedly been infringed, and in a new statement released today, Pocketpair also claims it's "unaware of the specific patents," and hasn't been notified of the details.
