Make no mistake if Nintendo wins this Disney will be throwing even more patent's around left and right to consolidate more stuff as well, this is honestly gonna trigger a mad dash by corporations to basically monetize every thing under the sun because line must go up, the final boss of capitalism's demand of endless greed, you paying money to breathe, sneeze,eat, drink, spit, swallow,chew and relief yourself. --- A worthless existence ...

Maybe this will shake some people off of the ridiculous idea that Nintendo is any less opportunistic and greedy than their competitors at the end of the dayNintendo de-listing their own digital games like super mario 3D all-stars and fire emblem 1 NES just to create false fear of missing out (literally no actual good reason why delisting your own games/giving them a time limit other than "we want quick, desperate sales NOW") can't convice the most passionate of nintendo fanboys that nintendo is by far the worst for consumer rights or actually caring about them then absolutely nothing will. *And just to be clear, no corporation really cares......but out of the 3 console makers today nintendo is worst off than the other 2.

Charged151 posted... You would think they would kick GameFreak's butt to do a better job. Gamefreak can't "do a better job" without either more employees (which would require them to spend more money) or more time (which would throw off the schedule of the entire Pokemon multimedia machine and make them less money). More importantly, why would they waste time and money to do either of those when Sw/Sh and S/V still sold insanely well even with how buggy and unimpressive they were. The only real "threat" to future Pokemon games selling less is their fanbase seeing a viable and better alternative like Palworld. Nintendo/TPC sees trying to kill any viable competition in the courtroom and the patent office as the easier and cheaper solution compared to actually making their games better. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg ...

Lots of people in here showing a frankly stunning lack of knowledge about IP law. Anyone calling this a copyright issue or saying that "___ did it first" needs to do a bit of reading up. Patents aren't copyrights. They have nothing to do with copyrights. The only thing they share in common is that they are both forms of IP protection. Patents deal with mechanical and scientific innovations; copyrights deal with artistic and creative expressions. Something that can be copyrighted almost by definition cannot be patented and vice versa. Also, unlike copyrights, patents don't really care "who did it first". The owner of the patent is whoever applied for it and got it accepted first, even if other people were doing it previous. That Nintendo was not the first one to come up with the summoning mechanic is completely immaterial. For those wondering how such a generic mechanic qualifies for a patent... well, it probably doesn't. Or shouldn't, at least. But the standards of the USPTO (which is the body that approves patents) for approving patents slipped a long time ago from "Is this a new, useful, and innovative idea or technology with potential commercial applications?" to "Did the patent applicant pay the appropriate fees?". There are entire websites dedicated to dumb and frivolous patents that have been approved, up to and including the idea of a combover (yes, the USPTO literally approved a patent for a combover in 1977 - check out Patent US4022227A for more details). Finally, as some people in this topic have already pointed out, the odds this holds up in court are almost nil and I suspect Nintendo knows that. It is possible that they are doing this as some form of lawfare against competitors, but it's also just as possible they're doing this as a "defensive" move to patent something so no one else can do it ("You can't sue us, we hold the patent for this"). Is this going to "topple the gaming industry"? Absolutely not. I strongly suspect absolutely nothing will come of this, because if Nintendo ever tried to enforce this patent, they would almost certainly lose their court case (this patent fails a couple of basic tests for patent protection - patents must cover an idea that is new and non-obvious; summoning mechanics are demonstrably not new and the idea that they are non-obvious is very debatable). --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
