In other news, trademark applications to the below series were approved for publication earlier this week:

• Eternal Darkness

The ride never ends.

So they say they are the legal owners of the super Mario run trademark and then it's solved. You had me intrigued for a second, thought it was a case like the iPad mini not being trademarked because mini is merely an added descriptive word of the already trademarked iPad.

Correct. As I said, this is nothing major and I brought it up merely as an example of the inefficiency of some USPTO protocols/systems. Nintendo has experienced similar scenarios with some Pokémon trademarks and The Pokémon Company.

Mexican Shyguys and Arabian Toads!

Deport him, and build a big beautiful wall around him and make the Mushroom Kingdom pay for it!

Google says Keiran Lee, adult film star.

Don´t pretend that you needed Google for that info.

What??? First time i've ever seen this over a videogame.

Probably happens a lot though. They probably just have to refile with additional documents.

 

[Lana Del Rey]

Hey, that's pretty good.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Does Mario have a valid Visa?

Which worlds has he visited lately and why

WOW

This is beautiful

Wouldn't surprise me if this was some kind of automated response, to finding similar trademarks from technically different companies. I would hope that if a human had actually looked at the filings, they would have approved it.

It'll get sorted soon enough, but it is pretty stupid.
