The same for Palworld then, the patent that is supposedly the topic was filled in July 2024, way AFTER Palworld came to existence and law can't work backwards if you want to have healthy society.
My god you really don't comprehend anything being said, do you? Nor do you do any actual research.
1. No, Palworld is dealing with a different set of patents than TemTem, etc, would. There's entirely different patents dictating their rights to a certain set of mechanics, in a certain method, in an open world 3D Terrain, than in the classic GB/C/A + DS + 3DS eras. The former, the Open World 3D Terrain Patents, is what Palworld is dealing with. Temtem et al are dealing with outdated, effectively neutered patents in comparison.
Let me bold and underline this for you: each patent requires that the infringement copy the entire breadth of the patent's coverage, and not a detail more or less. In short, TemTem et al would
never fall under the newer patents, and the former patents likely
expired, ergo TemTem Et al, even if they DID infringing, are in the clear just by how the law works.

2. No, the 2024 Patent is a 'child' patent, extending the coverage of the 2021 Patent ( see:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/palworl...are-being-infringed-upon.661030/post-10502485 ). What this means is that it's treated as though it's nothing more than covering additional systems they already owned rights to in 2021. BUT, the patent will also
completely fall off the same day as the 2021 patent. The American Patents that people are looking at simply child patents acknowledging the original, 2021 patent.

3. As established: Nintendo has 0 actual power on its own. This suit was made by the combined decisive authority of Creatures Inc, Gamefreak, and Nintendo. 2/3rds of that are not nintendo. They had
a say, not
the say. The other two companies had to agree, and are not Nintendo. In fact, I'm going to blow your mind: Legally and even in their own documents, Pokemon is
not a first party to Nintendo. They simply exclusively make for Nintendo. So your continuing to make this about Nintendo is either trolling, or, well, willful ignorance, neither of which suit your argument.

4. "Money Wins" - so what is it with you folks? Are the companies too big to be worth suing or too little to be worth suing? Palworld has the backing of Sony. It isn't financially feasible to be suing them. Yet they didn't sue Digimon for Digimon World 2? Why did you not address that, unless that fact's an achilles heel to your argument and enlightens the contradiction to your belief and makes it clear that you're just trying to gaslight?
