A recent trademark dispute involving Nintendo has emerged alongside ongoing patent litigation against Pocketpair, the developers of Palworld. Initially, Nintendo's legal action centered on a mechanism reminiscent of the "Pokeball." However, the new conflict pertains to the trademark for "Pikmin," a franchise that debuted in 2001 and has since expanded significantly. Xiamen Tuomeixun E-commerce Co., Ltd. recently applied for a trademark for "Pikminton," aimed at sporting goods, prompting Nintendo to file an opposition. Nintendo argues that the similarity could confuse consumers, despite the e-commerce company’s limited presence. The outcome hinges on whether the company can substantiate its claim before the USPTO.
