Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are seeking damages of approximately $65,700 and an injunction against the sale of the game Palworld. The lawsuit claims that Palworld infringes on three patents related to catching and riding creatures, which are core mechanics in Pokémon games. Pocketpair, the developer behind Palworld, has revealed that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are each seeking 5 million yen in damages, plus late payment fees, and are also aiming to block the game's release. The total damages sought by both companies amount to 10 million yen. A patent analyst has described the lawsuit as 'a clear case of bullying,' suggesting that the timing of the patent filings by Nintendo may indicate an attempt to target Palworld specifically.
