The Pokemon Company’s Fake Pokemon NFT Project Taken to Court
The Pokémon Company has taken to court a company using its trademarks and assets to promote an NFT-based Pokémon mobile game.
Australian company Pokémon Pty Ltd set up and promoted a website claiming to launch a crypto game called PokéWorld (thanks, Vooks).
The company even claimed to have worked on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon Home, and Pokémon Sleep.
The Pokémon Company International has asked the court to seek a solution to prevent Pokémon Pty Ltd from using their trademarks and stop launching the game and selling NFTs using their intellectual property.
It was also stressed that neither The Pokémon Company nor Nintendo have started any NFTs.
This appears to be a slam dunk case of blatant copyright infringement.
