As Palworld lawsuit drags on, Nintendo tries and fails to secure another patent on monster-capturing mechanics
Nintendo has reportedly failed to secure a patent for touchscreen-based monster-catching mechanics, a decision made while its ongoing lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair continues. The Japan Patent Office found no inventive step in Nintendo's application, deeming it a general rule set without technological originality. This development comes as Palworld previously adjusted its creature-capturing system to appease the ongoing infringement lawsuit.
