Nintendo se voit refuser un brevet pour la capture de monstres sur écran tactile

Nintendo et The Pokémon Company se sont vu refuser une demande de brevet visant les appareils à écran tactile pour des mécaniques de capture de monstres similaires à celles de Pokémon. Ce refus de l'Office japonais des brevets s'ajoute aux défis juridiques en cours contre Pocketpair, le développeur de Palworld.

L'Office japonais des brevets a rejeté la demande n° 2026-019762 le 24 avril 2026. Les examinateurs ont conclu que la revendication décrivait un ensemble de règles générales de capture de monstres sans aucune étape techniquement innovante au-delà de l'état de la technique existant. Nintendo avait modifié les revendications en février et pourrait tenter de nouvelles révisions.
