Palworld developer Pocketpair has responded to this morning’s dramatic decision by Nintendo to file a patent infringement lawsuit against the company.
In a statement issued via social media and the company’s website, Pocketpair said it received notice of the legal proceedings yesterday but was still “unaware of the specific patents we are accused of infringing upon”.
