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?
