@Humpleupagus @CliffSecord @LivingSpaceStudios @fatepony @qwerty They won that suit on 2 facts : That video games and movies were dissimilar markets, so there was no chance of product confusion within either market, and on the basis that Donkey Kong was dissimilar enough in both name and appearance that no reasonable person could be expected to confuse them.

In this case, Palworld and Pokemon occupy the same market segment, so it fails the first test.

When I first saw Palworld, I genuinely though it was a new Pokemon game, so it fails the second test.
