Nintendo Co., Ltd., together with The Pokémon Company, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court against Pocketpair, Inc. on September 18th, 2024.

This market will resolve to YES if Nintendo is considered to have won the case. Any remedy or compensation awarded to Nintendo by the court will be considered a win. A settlement perceived to be in favour of Nintendo will be considered a win if it includes a factor such as: statement of admission by Pocketpair, crediting Nintendo/The Pokémon Company, updates to the game to lessen Pokémon resemblance, or removing the game from sale. If terms are not disclosed, media consensus of whether any of these factors occurred will determine.

It is unknown when the suit will be resolved and the end date could be extended if it appears the case has not yet been exhausted.
