It was a dumb patent because such a "mechanic" appears in stories from centuries ago.

Okay but what about the patent where you throw a ball to summon a creature? That's the one fucking Palworld.

>revokes
Retarded journo, retarded OP repeating what retarded journo spews out.
>Less than two months later, the head of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Director John A. Squires, ordered an ex parte reexamination (EPR)
>Nintendo let the deadline for a response slip. The examiner therefore started the reexamination process and put out a non-final Office action last week, rejecting all claims of the patent in question
>As mentioned above, the rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
>rejection in this case means “declaring ripe for revocation”, not that the patent is actually rejected
>Nintendo has two months to respond, but that period can be extended if Nintendo asks for it (and Nintendo doesn’t even have to state a reason).
>By not looking at real-world games, the USPTO is making this somewhat complicated. For 18 of the 26 patent claims, they have to combine two different prior art references to argue that the claimed inventions are obvious, and for the remaining 8 patent claims they even have to combine three to get there.
>>736259551
You are dumb. Patents describe a way to apply the mechanic in a video game. It has nothing to do with fucking stories from centuries ago.
This is the level of understanding /v/ has, fucking he’ll.
>>
Iirc this was rejected on non final basis because the wording is too similar to Nintendo’s other approved patents that cover similar things
>>
This is just blatant anti-Japanese sabotage on America's part. There is nothing wrong with the patent at all, they just don't want Japanese companies to do well.

It is a good thing that only one company will have access to an idea until the end of time

Software patents in general are fucking stupid. I say this as a software dev. If someone else can replicate your product without access to your source code, you absolutely do not deserve to be protected from "competition".

99% of nintendos video game patents are complete bullshit done by other people years if not decades before. You shouldnt be able to patent vidya shit in general because 99% chance its already built off something.

Patents in general are retarded and destructive its boomer shit thats completely broken system.

this really shouldnt be a thing. it stifles creativity, the exact oppostite thing patents were suppose to do.

No, it doesn't. It ensures creativity thrives, the exact intended purpose of patents in the first place.

Not interested in it. Not interested in pokemon either. Nothing's changed since the game first made itself known.
Do hope ninty keeps getting BTFO though. It's amusing how angry they get.

I know you don't believe that and are just trolling but in case someone else stumbles onto this thread:

No, it can't be a spherical object. Just make the m cubes and problem solved. A lot of fan monster tamer games make use of different shapes even with same color schemes. Learn to play the game or get fucked.

How so?

Even after the patent office told Nintendo to go fuck themselves?
>>
>>736269028
>IT HAS TO BE AN OBJECT THAT YOU THROW AT THEM TO CAPTURE THE
Looks like palworld fans are equally as creatively bankrupt as the developers are. Just copy pokemon by use a square and not a circle. Brilliant.
>>
>>736269478
This isn't a bad idea, a pal gun would go really well with the theme.
>>
Nintendo... lost?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>
>>736270316
>IT HAS TO BE AN OBJECT THAT YOU THROW AT THEM TO CAPTURE THE
that sounds so basic as fuck though, that's like patenting the idea of nets and then acting like you did some complicated thing to come up with that idea.
>>
>>736272315
You only think it's basic because Pokemon normalized it
>>
>>736272497
>cave man throws rock at creature and knocks it
>caveman captures creature and calls it a day
>rng chance the creature doesn't get stunned

seriously how is this unique mechanic there's a bunch game where you throw something at a creature, which are essentially just a pokeball but with extra steps or in this case a different animation
>>
>>736272645
You're grasping dude.
>>
>>736272645
The patent isn't for capturing a creature, it's for throwing something and summoning a creature
>>
>>736273216
projecting hard to a point he didn't refute anything
>>736273360
and i know but the fact that you can patent the idea of capturing a creature with the most basic 's of fundamentals is dumb
>>
It's amazing how much palworld discourse is just them pretending not to understand things
>>
>>736273459
ignores the fact that he didn't mention what the patent says after throwing something at something, it's almost like he left that out to try and ignore the point i was making
>>
>>736273431
Sure I'll waste my time explaining common sense understanding to you, since your entire goal is trolling me anyway.

The patent in question isn't about throwing things at animals. Also using pokeballs to capture and summon creatures is not at all immitative of ancient man throwing rocks at creatures to kill them. Nor is the rng chance of capturing due to your throwing accuracy in nearly every pokemon game.

Your analogy is fucking gay and reductionist. If you have a problem with the patent in question read it and understand it first, and then get back to me.

Hope this helps.
>>
>>736273643
oh sorry I meant *Creatures considering the guy said you throw something, and then nothing else.

>a pokeball is some sort of invention made by humankind despite Not really going on details besides pokemon lets them in hoopla and shit on how they manage to digitize a pokemon into a small ball which is essentially just a net.

so, you're telling me that pokeballs are on the same levels of fundamentals as a gun which was essentially just gunpowder go boom and object goes flying out of it, difference is that a "gun" has objectively progressed through years with barreling and new way to fire something now they are coming up with magnets being able to fire objects out of thing and oxidization or how you say that word, but pokeballs are just a mcguffin that work because you throw them at a creature and they get captured and nothing really explains how, there's nothing that makes them unique beside having for specific situations like nets.
>>
>>736259084
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>
>>736273953
Read the patent.
>>
>>736273953
>Your analogy is fucking gay and reductionist

same guy but to add on to this it's not really far off to what analogy i used for cave man, cause back then during the stone age and any primitive age, caveman and tribes used to weaken creature before knocking a creature out with either a rock or some sort of dart then sometimes net them up, the fact that you thought that was dumb shows u never really studied history, they even had "pokemon battles" when man tamed the wolf which was used to either weaken animals or stir them into areas where they can either spear or stone them to death.

the fact you called that reactionist quote is generally retarded considering you think the pokeball is some sort of innovative discovery when its only carried by its fictional setting which doesn't really make sense at all like almost all of hero comics, the pokeball still follows the same mirrored fundamentals as a realistic setting basically weaken the animal then net it or knock it out, but in this case it just captures it without no problem

>read the patent i have which i asks the question why you're dodging the question on how the pokeball is somehow unique enough to be complicated, despite it being just a toss and capture and then release
