The Pokémon Company’s new patents are a bad sign, and not just for Palworld
The Pokémon Company is employing an unusual approach with patents in the U.S., which may have far-reaching implications for the gaming industry. Other games featuring creature collection, like Palworld, might face similar consequences due to this strategy. However, it’s the fact that TPC obtained these patents that raises concerns. To clarify, I am not a legal expert. This patent seems quite specific, and it would require direct copying to violate it. Yet, while this particular case might not lead to issues, it does lay the groundwork for potential misuse of such a precedent.
