It is extremely unlikely that The Pokémon Company – a large, international organization – would use a request for jury trial as its first step. We’ll update should we receive a response.

We’ve reached out to him for comment and explanation. In other words, Jones’ claim of owing The Pokémon Company $4,000 in 45 days is not accurate. The filings indicate that the parties might be working toward an out-of-court agreement, but specific amounts (if any) and timing are not set. Crucially, there is no settlement at this time, as confirmed to us by a representative of The Pokémon Company. The most recent documents on file are dated September 18 and indicate a voluntary dismissal of the case against Jones’ partner, Zach Shore, and a joint status report related to a potential early settlement. Because the matter is still being litigated, The Pokémon Company is unable to comment on the events that may have led to the August 26 court filing. Jones claims that The Pokémon Company served him no cease and desist notification prior to bringing the matter to court and demanding a jury trial. As part of its filing, the company says it is seeking a court order prohibiting further infringement as well as actual and statutory damages. The complaint alleges infringement of The Pokémon Company’s copyrighted works not only for the 2015 party, but for the four years preceding. The Pokémon Company’s complaint also refers to a Facebook posting for the party that promised “Pokémon themed shots and drinks,” a Super Smash Bros. The promotional poster (below) featured both Pikachu and Snivy.Īccording to Jones’ GoFundMe page, tickets cost $2 each. Jones and his partner Zach Shore had planned to throw The 5th Annual Unofficial Pokémon PAX Kickoff Party in Seattle. Jones doesn’t actually owe anything right now. Jones has now raised more than $4,000 to pay off a fine based on what he says is strictly due to a pre-PAX party using Pikachu and Snivy, two The Pokémon Company’s famous critters. On October 1, Ramar Larkin Jones opened a GoFundMe page after facing a lawsuit from The Pokémon Company. "I would have canceled the Event right away had I gotten A C&D or even an email," he says." Larkin also reiterated that this was his first communication with The Pokémon Company. We have the emails going back and fourth where their lawyers say we have a deal."

"The lawyer I was working with is trying to get them to put the settlement back on the table so that we can be done with this entire thing. "We had agreed to a settlement once the story broke on motherboard we got a email saying they were pulling the offer because I was bad mouthing them tho I was not," Jones says via email.
