Another lawsuit against Palworld creator could be coming, but it would be challening for Nintendo
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company recently filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, the Japanese indie studio creator of Palworld, due to patent rights infringement, blocking the PS5 launch of the game in Japan.
