Wait...so the patents didn't even exist when Palworld was released into EA? or am I missing something?
You're not, but there's a preexisting patent, and these three are basically extensions of that patent.
Essentially, Palworld needed to know what supplementary patents Nintendo was going to file in the future in Japan so they didn't run afoul of the patent from the past. You know, textbook legal psychic stuff, really. /s
I hope Nintendo hurts itself in its confusion as its lawyers flail before the Japanese courts.
Has Phoenix Wright been a documentary about the Japanese legal system this entire time, and we just wrote it off?
"Oh, haven't they told you, palworld? That patent report is O U T D A T E D
that's what I was told
Tbh, if this is how Japan does patent law, it's a wonder they have as much technological progress as they do.
Japan is a country that has been living in the year 2005 since 1985.
