    The statement sounds like PR speak for, please stop telling us about palworld, we’ve heard already.

    I’m sure they have been inundated by panicked investors contacting them after reading the words, “pokemon with guns” in the news. The statement should reassure them that the company takes defending their IP seriously.

    The game’s been out long enough for them to write a cease and desist if they wanted to get litigious.

      Pretty much yeah. Mostly just “Yes, we know.” If they had any real chance of killing it off, they’d have done so before the game even launched. They’ll make a big show of looking into it, then grumpily admit there wasn’t technically any wrongdoing and, while they don’t support Palworld, they can’t actually stop it.

          In your legal opinion, what in Palword specifically infringes on Pokemon’s trade marks or copyrights?

            Yeah Nintendo tends to move pretty quick on these things. From what I’ve seen there’s not an obvious objection that wouldn’t also include things like Digimon.
