The lawsuit, submitted to the Tokyo District Court on Wednesday, alleges that “Palworld” infringes on several of Nintendo’s and The Pokémon Company’s patents. The legal action seeks both an injunction to halt the distribution of the game and compensation for damages resulting from the alleged violations.
