It’s not over yet, but it’s inching nearer to the end.
According to Games Fray’s Florian Mueller (via VGC), the non-final rejection — meaning Nintendo has two months to respond (or more if it choses) — the USPTO has rejected all 26 claims made in the patent, which essentially revokes it, unless Nintendo chooses to respond.
after 30 years shouldn’t the patent have expired?
They patented it in like 2020
then I really hope they cancell it because prior art clearly exists
