No, the sneaky thing is that they are older patents that were amended/updated after Palworld was released. But the initial patents are older than Palworld.
In a sane world, the case should be decided by the original text of the patents, not the updated one.
What am I saying, in a sane world these patents should not exist.
Depends on the exact wording of the patent, and the jurisdiction (U.S. or Japan)
