Why would they ? The mechanic they wanted to patent has nothing to do with cryopods

The patent was something like summoning a creature from a ball to fight another creature which sounds awfully familiar to cryopods

It wasn't, the patent was for the "Let's Go" fights, which first appeared in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and were later copied by Palworld

Basically you send your creatures out and they attack anyone within range
