<i>Pok'mon Go</i> Raises a Variety of Liability Issues
Every generation has its own new fads, which can sweep across the country, if not the world, seemingly from nowhere, capturing the imagination and attention of millions. With the exception of a few fads, these activities, however brilliant or mindless, do not create legal issues and potential litigation involving those who participate. Pok'mon Go is one of those exceptions.
This hot new enhanced-reality game, produced by San Francisco-based Niantic Inc., has been installed over 100 million times. The game allows its users to travel to areas looking for Pok'mons, collecting them and using them to conquer Pok'mon Gyms. Players hatch Pok'mon eggs by walking certain distances while playing and obtain items needed to improve their collections by playing within a short distance from Pok'stops, which are denominated landmarks spread throughout the area.
