Late last night, waves spread across the gaming community when the notoriously litigious Nintendo finally took action against indie developer Pocketpair and its mega-hit Palworld, posting an announcement of its bombshell lawsuit on its official site. The text of that announcement is as follows:
“Nintendo Co., Ltd. (HQ: Kyoto, Minami-ku, Japan; Representative Director and President: Shuntaro Furukawa, “Nintendo” hereafter), together with The Pokémon Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court against Pocketpair, Inc. (HQ: 2-10-2 Higashigotanda, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, “Defendant” hereafter) on September 18, 2024.
