A new patent has been published in the US that sounds very similar to one of the Japanese patents which Pocketpair was alleged to have infringed upon in Nintendo's ongoing lawsuit against the Palworld developer.
Last September, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Pocketpair in Japan. Pocketpair later revealed that it was alleged to have infringed upon three patents which all appear to cover certain game mechanics, from Legends: Arceus Pokeball-style catching mechanics to one related to riding around on characters (again, like the Ride Pokemon in Legends: Arceus).
