Comment on Palworld developer has no idea why Nintendo’s suing over its Pokémon-like game

Though Nintendo’s not going after Pocketpair because lamballs look uncomfortably similar to wooloos, we do know the company is famously litigious in protecting its brand.
So no one really knows what exactly Nintendo is accusing them of yet.
Here’s an older video by an attorney that did a deep dive on Palworld and its legality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns3ATH556NU (Warning: long video).

Nintendo is suing them over patent infringement, not copyrights, which is whats making everyone confused. Everyone was expecting Palworld to get sued over copyright, under the assumption that the pals kinda look similar to Pokemon. Instead, theyre getting sued for gameplay mechanics.
