Japan’s copyright laws are basically the same as everyone else.
Except since in japan you can patent basically everything, the application is much stricter. See how nintendo has patents for "capturing a monster using a ball" and other general stuff.
IIRC, there was a japanese company (capcom, maybe?) that had a patent on showing shadows of the characters when they weren't visible on screen due to a wall or tree covering them.
How were they able to sue Palworld, then?
