TL;DR

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have filed a lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair in Japan, citing patent infringements related to Pokémon-style activities. The lawsuit, which seeks financial compensation and an injunction against the game, references three specific Japanese patents. This legal action follows Palworld's record-breaking launch on Steam, which sold 12 million copies in its first month. The lawsuit has delayed the game's Japanese PS5 release but not its mobile port development.
