#3Isn't this impossible because you can't get a patent if there is prior art? So they shouldn't be able to use a patent against a video game that came out before the patent was filed right?

#4So Nintendo is claiming patent infringement for a patent that was registered after Palworld was released? It seems a bit nonsensical, am I understanding it correctly?

The prior art restrictions are no longer in place, and the system has become first to file. The America Invents Act changed to the first to file from first to invent

When the prior art is yours you can, the pocket monster company is a joint venture with Nintendo.

#8This is a sign of the beginning of the end for them. When you’re rotten to the core you do things like this instead of actually innovating and creating new great products. It doesn’t end well long term.

Technically no, but Sony and Pocketpair have created a joint venture called Palworld Entertainment.
