On January 25, the Pokémon Company issued a document stating that it was investigating any infringement of Pokémon-related intellectual property rights and would take appropriate actions. This easily reminded people of the recently popular game "Phantom Pal". However, according to a report by foreign media GameFile, the game that The Pokémon Company is investigating is not "Pallu".
GameFile stated in the report that on January 11, Nintendo of America filed an objection to a card game company’s attempt to register the word “PokéZoo” as a trademark. If you look closely at their registered “PokéZoo” trademark, you will find many elements that are the same as the Pokémon series, including: a bright yellow logo, a Gengar-like creature and a fast ball at the bottom.
If you search "PokéZoo" on Google, you will find more examples of its infringement, including some links to websites, one of which has anchor text that directly reads "Pokemon", which attempts to capitalize on the success of the Pokémon TCG and includes a link to the "Pokémon Elite Trainer Box."
Further investigation revealed that "Poké Zoo" is described as "a trading card game with groundbreaking mechanics that break the fourth wall." The company's official website is very simple, with 20 pages of cards and bundles, many of which are ostensibly sold out, with prices ranging from $0.00 to $39,990. There is also a "PokéZoo" game on the Google Play Store, which was updated on the same day as the above trademark application.
Finally, GameFile believes that the Pokémon Company has not clearly stated that "Pokémon Pal" infringes, and since mid-2021, the "Pokémon Pal" trailers are full of Pokémon-like creatures and have been widely circulated on the Internet. It is impossible for the Pokémon Company to take action now.
