That’s not what this article says. Earliest application was March 5, 2024.

Palworld was released on Jan 18th, 2024, a month and a half beforehand.

Look at the actual patents, though. They list 2021 as the application date in Japan.

The patents being referred to by the article are not Japanese patents. Did you know Japan has its own court system?

Why are you lying? The article links to a google patents page, under the Japanese patents. There are US versions of these patents available to view, which the article didn’t link to.

JP7545191 is a japanese patent. You can click one of the little blue US buttons to see the American equivalent. The same is true of the other two patents in question

What do the dates in them have to do with you getting that basic piece of information wrong? If you have a point to make, make it.

The court systems processed them on different dates. You’re the one being belligerent and incorrect. Condescend on someone else, learn to read the stuff you link or at least make an attempt to understand it lol

Japan and the US have seperate requirements (first to file VS first to invent) for initially accepting a patent. Just because you can see them both on the USPTO website doesn’t mean the patents are for both the US and Japan. In Japan, you can legally oppose a product before the patent is granted - in the US, that doesn’t fly.

If you can’t piece together what my point was with this info, you should probably stop commenting on patent cases until you do understand. You quite literally linked info showing the dates of the US patents that are after the release of palworld. Either you didn’t read the thing you linked or you have some warped perception of patents being global.
