Here are the patents Nintendo and the Pokémon Company are suing Palworld about, according to Pocketpair

Palworld developers Pocketpair have finally revealed which patents Nintendo and the Pokémon Company are suing them about. It looks like they're focusing on the act of throwing capsular items to catch or release monsters, together with the usage of monsters as mounts.

Palworld developer Pocketpair has provided an update on the ongoing legal action between it and the combination of Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, which claims to reveal the exact patents that the game about pals has been accused of infringing upon.

Palworld maker Pocketpair shares the details of its ongoing patent infringement lawsuit with Nintendo and The Pokemon Company.
