Nintendo, you don’t just get to file patents after a competitor makes a better product than you, and then try to use those to shut your competitor down.
It never ceases to amaze me how people will see some corporation do something shady that is already bad and still find it in themselves to come up with some crazy conspiracy theory about it anyway, even if the conspiracy isn’t any worse than the demonstrable thing that’s actually happening.
Or how they fail to mark their sarcasm, I guess, if that’s what this is.

Yes you do. The US changed to first-to-file in 2013.
Is “prior art” not still a thing?
Not in the US, where you can buy anything, including patent office rulings.
I think we all know they didn’t stop Palworld because they saw it grow and wanted them to get more money first.

Why do you think it’s a conspiracy theory to assume the patent fraud strategy was only implemented after Palworld got big?
I know the OG statement was a bit more provocative and sensationalist, but I think the high level logic holds.
Genuinely curious.
