Namco's patent on the katamari mechanic — a ball that rolls up smaller objects and grows, changing what it can pick up next — is estimated to expire August 22, 2026. Track the live countdown at /dying/us7402104b2.
On death day, a playable katamari-mechanic demo unlocks here. Not before — this is the one grave on the site that's still, technically, a body.
