On what basis? That release doesn't say anything.
Assuming that Palworld didn't infringe anything, here's hoping they made enough money during early access to properly defend themselves.
It reminds me of when Bluehole sued Epic games over the supposed ripping off of Battle Royale Mechanics, and it ended up causing Fortnite to steal it's place as the biggest battle royale game on the market.
