Pocketpair, the developers of Palworld have revealed a patent they have infringed according to the lawsuit Nintendo has filed against them.

The tree patents, which were all filed between May and July of 2024 draw similarities between Palworld and Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the descriptions of the patents state mechanics such as “riding an object” or “throwing a ball to capture and possess a character in virtual spaces.”

Pocketpair has stated that they refuse to reveal more information to media/press on the matter unless the situation desperately calls for it, adding on that they’ll “continue to assert our position in this case through future legal proceedings.”
