Seven Towns filed 1 patent in H1 2026, falling under Hardware.
The filing describes a water-filled toy capsule game that uses hydraulic pressure to control the movement of characters inside. Players attempt to knock a target seal off their opponent's capsule, which drains the water and determines the winner.
Just 1 Hardware patent rounds out Seven Towns' filing activity for this period. The application covers a capsule-based game where characters suspended in water rise and fall according to hydraulic pressure inside the pod, and a removable seal serves as the mechanism that ends play when dislodged by a projectile. What makes the approach worth examining is the use of water evacuation through atmospheric pressure differential as the sole means of registering a win or loss, with no electronic components or traditional mechanical scoring involved. Prior art does not appear to combine water-suspended capsule pods with projectile-triggered seal removal in this way.
