What this is
Pokémon’s legal claims and awards set against The Pokémon Company’s profit: the 2024 Shenzhen award of about ¥2.34bn equals 1.6% of operating profit for the year to February 2026.
How it’s built
- Palworld: ¥5m claimed by each of two claimants, as Pocketpair reported, ¥10m in all.
- Shenzhen: about ¥2.34bn, the company's own conversion of 107m yuan.
- Each divided by the Tokyo company's operating profit (¥143,972m) and revenue (¥531,428m) for the year to February 2026. Redbubble: A$1 awarded against more than A$44,000 claimed.
What we assumed
- Claims and awards from 2017 to 2024 can be compared with one later year's profit.It is a sense of scale, not a matched period; the latest year is used as the yardstick.
- The Shenzhen award is counted at its face value.No source shows how much was actually collected.
Sanity check
None of these is a booked line in the accounts. The point is scale: enforcement money is small next to profit.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes:

- Palworld claim ¥ million (Pocketpair's account, both claimants): 10
- Palworld % of TPC operating profit: 0.007
- Shenzhen first instance ¥ million (RMB 107m): 2,340
- Shenzhen % of TPC operating profit: 1.63
- Shenzhen % of TPC revenue: 0.44
- Shenzhen over Palworld times: 234
- ¥5m × 2 claimants
- Shenzhen award as converted in
- each ÷ TPC FY2/26 OP and revenue
- Redbubble award ÷ rejected claim
