Nintendo's next patent "button inputs that cause player character to take actions"

Nintendo bombing an orphanage because there's a kid called Luigi inside:

As a former caveman i will sue Nintendo for stealing my patent of throwing rocks to animals.

[WetzforLife]

A judge should listen to the case and then HEAVILY fine Nintendo as a warning to EVERY game developer that this is not allowed.

[Moonlight.Howlings.]

Those patents are so vague and should have never been granted. These concepts been in games since the 80s.

[JoseRodriguez-jhdk]

Whats worse is I bet Nintendo is banking on some old judge who knows nothing about games to just agree with them out of ignorance.

[mixingcat]

We should remember that Nintendo once said, "There are no copyrights in games, " then tried suing most of the other gaming companies that they've copied.

Nintendo: "Patents Dinosaurs"

[KissyKaede]

Welp, pack it up, everyone. You can no longer "point and launch an object from your character", Nintendo owns that idea. Absolute clown shit.

[ZGamingGuy]

If I'm the judge, and I see the patent was filed months after the game launched, I'd immediately dismiss it. You can't just retroactively bring someone down like that. What an insane and desperate thing for Nintendo to do

[OctagonalSquare]

To clarify from a post made by a patent lawyer:

The patent IS NOT about throwing or the throwing animation. It is about switching between throwing a ball to catch and succeeding the catch to then throwing out a ball to release a monster.

This means it’s a very specific action and set of rules. If any of the aspects of the patented switching mechanics method are not done by Palworld, then the suit will be thrown out.

Also, no, the patent was not filed in 2024. It was filed for the first time in Japan in 2021. The most recent version was refiled on that date, along with filing it for a 3rd time in the US. The US patent office rejected it on Sep 13th, which is likely why they filed the suit when they did, as they waited for the US patent office verdict to try and file suit in the US instead.

So Nintendo just declared war on Digimon, Ark, Slug Terra, Minecraft, Roblox, Call of duty, and did I forget Dinosaur King

[MALØR.]

It should be illegal to patent a game mechanic or system. The fact that they allow it at all is a travesty and it's 100% stifling to creativity.

[OctagonalSquare]

Reminder, it isn’t copyright, but patent suit. And it’s specifically in Japan, which both allows things to be patented that aren’t allowed elsewhere, and is stricter on enforcing the laws as they don’t have fair use

[awfyboy]

They just hate Palworld cause they did something right where Pokemon failed.

[RicoRaynn]

So why is this even an issue then?

I feel like any judge with half a brain would tell Nintendo to fuck off.

[jipowap]

Patent. Not copyright.
As in invention. Catching things and using them to fight is their RECENTLY FILED patent.

[unclerukmer]

The point isn't to win the suit. The point is to impose such a heavy litigation cost on Pocketpair that they abandon the game.

[stevenford]

Nintendo was bullied by Universal over Donkey Kong in 1983, and now they are doing the exact same thing to a small dev

[jmkqfnvyl]

Imagine if our forefathers had this—

“No. Can’t throw rock at tiger. That Grounk’s move.”
