Denegada a Nintendo la patente para la captura de monstruos mediante pantalla táctil

La Oficina de Patentes de Japón ha denegado a Nintendo y The Pokémon Company una solicitud de patente destinada a dispositivos táctiles para mecánicas de captura de monstruos similares a las de Pokémon. Este rechazo se suma a los desafíos legales en curso contra Pocketpair, desarrollador de Palworld.

La Oficina de Patentes de Japón rechazó la solicitud n.º 2026-019762 el 24 de abril de 2026. Los examinadores concluyeron que la reclamación describía un conjunto de reglas generales para la captura de monstruos sin ningún paso tecnológicamente innovador más allá del estado de la técnica anterior. Nintendo había modificado las reclamaciones en febrero y podría intentar nuevas revisiones.
