Niantic Settlement Details Emerge in Pokemon Go Tresspassing Lawsuit

Niantic has filed a proposed settlement in California regarding a Pokemon Go trespassing lawsuit brought against the company in 2016. The complainant alleged that Niantic placed PokeStops and Gyms on private property that led to players trespassing. Under the terms of the settlement, Niantic would have to avoid placing PokeStops or items/creatures on private property. Owners will be able to fill out a form on the PG site to ask for the removal of PokeStops or Gyms within 40 meters of property.
