Australia company suffers from pokémon company’s lawsuit over sale of branded NFTs

This Thursday it was revealed that The Pokémon Company was suing an Australian company for unauthorized use of Pokémon characters in an NFT game. According to the report, Australian company Pokémon Pty Ltd, also known as Kotiota Studios, is responsible.

A game that uses Pokémon is sued.

This company advertises the PokéWorld game on its website. It also said that it has worked on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon HOME, and Pokémon Dream in the past, which is not true.

Among this whole issue is also $POKESHARD, the in-game currency that helped take care of these creatures.

Pokemon and NFTs

In this game that mixes Pokémon and NFTs, the pocket monsters are pets more than anything else. All this didn’t sit well with The Pokémon Company, which filed a lawsuit and the first hearing was held on

December 21. While the company’s lawyers were present, no one showed up for Pokémon Pty Ltd/Tokiota Studios.

Mainly because it did not acquire the proper rights to work on such a game. It was an outright infringement of The Pokémon Company’s intellectual property. On previous occasions, this company has sent “cease and desist letters” to those developing Pokémon fan games.
