The patents it seems Nintendo is using seems to be the concept of catching critters in balls and then also throwing them out to battle. The one being floated is both google translated and written in legalese, so its hard to determine what it exactly is saying and if its as vague as it sounds.
If that is true though, then it really seems the only case they have against Palworld and not all the others beforehand (which by not attacking voids their claim) is that its a fucking ball and not a different object like all the rest seem to use.
What exactly is the patent allegedly being infringed? The concept of capturing critters in balls?

So, update the game to have a capture cube and tell Nintendo to piss off.
"Your honor, it's a sphere, not a ball."
"A ball is any sphere in throwable format."
"New Palworld update. Spheres replaced with Pal Ellipsoids."
Or Pallysoids, for short.
