Nintendo and The Pokemon Company's patent application for Monster Capture mechanics has been rejected by the Japanese Patent office. Talking as a non legally qualified person, it throws into doubt the other patents, which are pivotal to the lawsuit against the Palworld developer Pocket Pair. In my opinion, it will also lead to the emergence to a lot of other Monster Capture type games. Some patents were granted to Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, such as the US patent on the ability to summon characters in games. However, it was noted that that mechanic was used in games a long time before Pokemon even existed, such as in games like Shin Megami Tensen 1. If there's more updates about the lawsuit, I'll be sure to mention it on the Gaming News. Do you like Monster Capture games?
