"Palworld"
Nintendo files suit against “Pokémon with weapons”
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have sued the developer of the video game "Palworld" for patent infringement. The court should issue a temporary injunction and order the video game company Pocketpair to pay damages, the two plaintiffs announced on Thursday.
The game "Palworld", also known as "Pokémon with weapons", has sold millions of copies since its launch in January. The characters appearing in the game, called "Pals", bear a striking resemblance to the Pokémon characters. As a result, The Pokémon Company announced its intention to investigate possible patent infringements.
Pocketpair has now confirmed receipt of the lawsuit, but says it is unclear which patents have been infringed in detail. In July, Pocketpair announced a cooperation with the electronics group Sony to market "Palworld" worldwide.
