    The patent expired 10 years ago at the latest and even then It’s an Idea patent so they are squatting to quash innovation. Pokemon are at best patent trolls.

      Hard to know if the patent is expired when they haven’t even officially announced which ones they plan to bring forward in the suit.

      The only info I was aware of so far is that there were multiple claims they were making.

      Not disagreeing, just pointing out it’s not a traditional copyright claim like so many others we see.
