If this became a copyright case in Japan and palworld won it could change the law on copyright fair use

not every country has case law. most of Europe is eg using "code law", which means a precedent doesn't change the law, but only applies to the one specific case with all its specific context and circumstances taken into account. under slightly different circumstances, a judge may rule differently
