Fake Pokémon NFT project taken to court by The Pokémon Company

The Pokémon Company has taken a company using its trademarks and assets to advertise an NFT-based Pokémon mobile game to court.

Australian company Pokémon Pty Ltd set up and advertised a website claiming to be launching a crypto game called PokéWorld . 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 resolution to stop Pokémon Pty Ltd from using their trademarks, and to stop the game's launch as well as selling any NFTs using their intellectual property.This does appear to be a slam-dunk case of blatant copyright infringement.

Nintendo is one litigious company. Not sure how they thought they'd get away with it.

Evri couriers: Wiltshire customers report parcels going missingSome also reported being unable to contact the company about missing items and delays in delivery. Not surprising. They just leave parcels worth over £100 on doorstep in view of whole road for 5-6 hours until we get home.
