    Ars Technica, Wednesday - 09/18/2024 - 09:02 PM

    Enlarge / Artist's conception of Pocketpair lawyers establishing a defensive position against Nintendo's coming legal onslaught. (credit: Pocketpair) Nintendo and The Pokemon Company announced they have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Pocketpair, the makers of the heavily Pokémon-inspired Palworld.
