Nintendo's Patent Wasn't Revoked — Here's What Happened

The USPTO didn't "revoke" Nintendo's Pokémon patent — they issued a non-final rejection, and here's what that actually means for the Palworld lawsuit.

I'm Curt Lockhart, a patent attorney working with startup founders. In Part One I covered the original Nintendo vs. Pocketpair case and predicted Nintendo would try to amend their claims under reexamination. The US Patent Office just issued the next move, and most of the gaming press is reporting it wrong. Here's what actually happened, what "non-final rejection" really means, and the lesson founders should take from it.
