Nintendo reportedly gets even more obnoxious about patent law by taking a 'mods aren't real games' stance against a Dark Souls 3 mod that could invalidate its Palworld lawsuit (www.pcgamer.com)

They have applied for and received Patents in the US recently that pertain to their case against pocketpair

Nintendo obtained yet another just last week, it seems, as reported by Games Fray – and one yesterday. The new US patents include one related to a "smooth switching of riding objects" mechanism, and another that's far more concerning, as it could change the way that non-Pokemon creature collectors work forever: a patent covering the summoning of a "character" (in Palworld's case, that would be a Pal) and using it in combat against others.<
