Oh no, both the wolves look like wolves. Never mind they have different color schemes and geometry; look, they’re both wolves!
I approached the claims with an open mind, but when I read that the worst offender was the wolf I realized that none of the claims could possibly hold water.
That’s irrelevant. You can’t patent fantasy creatures. That’s a copyright issue. If they were suing for copyright infringement I might think they had a point, but they’re not.
I think the fact they’re going for a patent suit says they probably think they don’t have enough of an argument for a copyright suit which kind of makes sense. Just because the designs are similar doesn’t mean it’s copyright infringement.
Maybe not on that, but the creatures in Palworld are sometimes a direct ripoff of Pokémon. I’m with Nintendo on this one.
