51 In yesterday’s tragedy, Nintendo something slipped through the USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office): they patented the concept of collecting and summoning characters to battle for you (youtu.be) posted 271 days ago by redman012 271 days ago by redman012 +51 / -0 13 comments share 13 comments share save hide report block hide replies
They're kinda clutching at straws, patenting EVERYTHING related to their games...
...because apparently their lawsuit against Palworld is going badly, EVEN though it's in Japan where they should have the advantage.
The guys who made Palworld are the most unbelievably plucky and resilient developer in history.
It is? I can see why they are sticking to patenting it in the US, since that seems to be where Palworld derives much of it's support from.
