I wonder if PocketPair (Palworld devs) could flip a giant middle finger to Japan’s entire system by refunding all Japanese customers for the game and refusing to sell it in Japan anymore. Japan is the only country where Nintendo could get their way in a patent lawsuit, so fuck 'em
These aren’t even in Japanese courts. It’s US patents.
This is completely wrong. The patents that Nintendo submitted are in Japan. They’re still trying to apply for ones in the US, but they’re going to have a harder time making some that stick due to the different laws. Also, this is currently in Japanese courts

Wouldn’t work. This has nothing to do with Japanese customers or Japanese laws. These aren’t even in Japanese courts. It’s US patents.
Nintendo, a Japanese company in Kyoto, using American courts to stop Pocketpair, a Japanese indie studio in Tokyo, from selling Pal world.
What the hell.
The only enforceable patents they have are Japanese. This is an attempt to get US ones.
Nintendo’s patents, or the single one i should say, wouldn’t hold up or even apply to palworld in America, they will in Japan.
