These are copyrights, not patents (which is what is being litigated here), and they would have to be absolutely blatant for there to be a case. Think closer than what Master Chief and Doomguy look like. You can't reallly copyright an overall style or vibe. |
Ah yes, you are correct. If they were suing over character design that would be copyright. That said, I do think that the designs are Palworld are similar enough that one could argue that they were intentionally designed to cause market confusion. Not saying it's a slam dunk argument, but I think there's a case for it. Then again, apparently Nintendo opted not to make that case, so what do I know.
