In conclusion, Mueller states that an analysis of the situation suggests that there is no genuine plagiarism on Pocketpair's part, and that Nintendo's actions are merely "an attempt to leverage the patent system against a smaller company and late entrant to the market".

The reason patent attorneys get paid so much money is that no one in their right mind would ever want to be a patent attorney. Thus, we can all nod and smile as if we understand as Palworld developers Pocketpair releases a statement about precisely which patents Nintendo is claiming the Pokémon-alike game is violating.

Nintendo dropped a bombshell a few months ago when it confirmed that it was suing Palworld over allegedly infringed patents. At the time, Nintendo, Pockepair, and The Pokemon Company didn't reveal which patents were making up the lawsuit.
