Nintendo’s announcement that it was a large -scale successful polynsal developer, Pocket Monday, came as a shock last year, at least not in the pocket toe. The litigation stunned the sports industry, and internally, he sent a pocket toe for answers.
Looking at the studio’s response to the legal fiction during a conversation in the GDC 2025 today, John Bakley, the manager of the GB Perry Global Community, said, “When the announcement was made,” it didn’t clearly feel good “.
Bakley recalled, “We made legal checks before the Paulorild’s release and they were all cleared in Japan.” “So clearly when the legal action was announced, we are like that, ‘what?’ And we went back to the lawyers, and the lawyers contacted the courts and asked, ‘What is happening?’ And at the same time we realized that these are patents for which they are going. “
Nintendo announced the litigation in September 2024, seeking a ruling for violating three separate patents against Pulword, as well as 5 million yen (about $ 33,476 at the current exchange rate), among them the poke of Pokemun series. Nintendo had registered a patent in the filing longer after the release of Palvard, and it had set a phase of litigation.
Bakley remembered the announcement as a “very sad day” for the studio.
“Everyone is a great fan in a lot of pocket perry, so it was a very sad day, everyone goes down and walks in the rain,” he said. “He changed a lot of things for us. We were just about to release the PlayStation version, we were just about to go to the Tokyo Game Show, so obviously we had to pursue a little and hire security guards and such things.”
Immediately after the litigation was filed, Jeb Perry issued a statement, and apologized to the fans, calling it “really unfortunate”.
