On September 12, Nintendo filed for an extension of time to oppose the trademark 'TINKACHU' by Sinobi Studio, which covers entertainment services such as cosplay and adult-themed content. This action coincides with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company's lawsuit against Pocketpair, the developer of the popular game Palworld, over alleged patent infringement. Palworld has attracted 25 million players and is often compared to Pokémon, with a twist involving firearms. Nintendo's broader legal strategy aims to protect its intellectual property across multiple fronts.
