The clapback:

We have received notice of this lawsuit and will begin the appropriate legal proceedings and investigations into the claims of patent infringement.

At this moment, we are unaware of the specific patents we are accused of infringing upon, and we have not been notified of such details.

Patent rights? You gotta be kidding me. The hell did they patent? Throwing a ball?

Almost literally. They patented:

  • catching characters in thrown balls

  • calling on characters by throwing a ball

  • using captured characters to fight and harvest resources

@nonprofitparrot, if you have the links to the patents at hand, it would be grand if you can share them.

Apparently, in their LONG list of patents, is one for the in-game Pokemon Storage Box. Just speculation, of course, but that could be one the Pokemon Company cites.
