Unfortunately nintendo lawyers are already on their way to send a cease and desist to OP for using their name in a lemmy post :(
Receiving a patent after another company already made a product that would infringe that patent?
That sure sounds very legal :^)
The patent application that led to the ‘255 patent was filed in September 2022, more than a year before Palworld’s launch. But Nintendo made amendments to the claims throughout the process, also after Palworld had been launched. Finally, the patent issued this year.
I guess, this is what makes it complicated…
Said that, in my opinion, game design patents are BS, as it it hinders free creativity a lotAlmost all patents are BS. At least for how they currently work. Anything longer than a few years is just selfish capitalism.
Y E S ! ! !
Nintendo is the worst fucking company, and yet all I hear is “I can’t wait to get that Switch 2”. The general public doesn’t know fuck all about anything in the world.
No one cares about the problems of the world as long as they can get their dopamine dose
How long has palworld been out? getting a patentnow shouldn’t mean dick about palworld.
Be prepared to grab your pitchforks and torches! We storm against Goliath as dawn!
All jokes aside, would absolutely love it if a bunch of Sintendo “fans” all stormed the courtroom in support of them to give them to hopefully lower their brand reputation. Not just this potential case, but literally every single time they go to court anywhere.
That’s funny because I’m betting the EU will just invalidate all the us parents as a retaliation to tarrifs
