Nintendo nekas patent för monsterfångst via pekskärm

Svenska

Nintendo och The Pokémon Company har fått en patentansökan avvisad som rörde mekaniker för att fånga monster via pekskärmar, liknande de som används i Pokémon. Avslaget från det japanska patentverket adderar till de pågående rättsliga tvisterna mot Palworld-utvecklaren Pocketpair.

Det japanska patentverket avslog ansökan nr 2026-019762 den 24 april 2026. Granskarna drog slutsatsen att påståendet beskrev generella regler för monsterfångst utan några tekniskt innovativa steg utöver tidigare känd teknik. Nintendo hade ändrat kraven i februari och kan komma att försöka göra ytterligare revideringar.
