Nintendo has officially announced that it is suing PocketPair, the creators of Palworld, in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. In a statement on NintendoCoLtd on X, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on September 18, 2024. This lawsuit aims to seek an injunction against infringement and damages after PocketPair allegedly infringed multiple patents in Palworld.
On Thursday night, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company revealed that they were suing Palworld developer Pocketpair for patent infringement. Palworld became a viral success following its early access launch in January because it was a creature-collecting survival game with a surprisingly violent edge. The similarities to Pokémon were pretty noticeable, so players were left wondering for months whether or not any legal action would be pursued.
Yesterday, Nintendo announced that it had finally turned its baleful gaze on Palworld, and would be pursuing legal action in the Tokyo District Court against developer Pocketpair over alleged patent infringement. But which patents? Nintendo's press release accuses Palworld of infringing on «multiple patent rights,» but Pocketpair says it doesn't know which patents it's supposed to have violated, and Nintendo hasn't elaborated. While we wait for more specifics on the lawsuit, I've been digging into patents held by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company to see where Mario's lawyers might be anchoring their case. After a crash course in patent research, I've got a strong suspicion that Nintendo's bringing Pocketpair to court over Poké Balls.
Nintendo wouldn't sue Palworld unless it was pretty sure it could win a hefty chunk of the survival game's "hundreds of millions" of revenue, says one industry analyst who knows just how scary the Nintendo legal team is.
In the distant world of Silicon Valley funny-money, millions are peanuts and billions are little more than chump change. Google's therefore likely to be happy about the fact that it's just had a fine overturned by a European court less because of the money and more because of the message.
Palworld developer Pocketpair has rolled out a fix for the survival game to address an issue where wild and base Pals would sometimes stop moving and working. While the issue has been remedied on Xbox, a fix for Steam is still in process.
