A multi-state class action relating to Pokemon Go has survived a
motion to dismiss. Judge James Donato in the Northern District of
California believes that placing a virtual object in a game that
may cause people to trespass presents novel issues.
"I don't think it's right to turn off the
plaintiffs' tap off at this stage. I think it would be wrong to
say of new legal questions, simply because they're new,
that's enough to stop the case," he said. "Novel and
open issues cut strongly against dismissal."
