With its upcoming Switch 2 Direct broadcast scheduled for April, Nintendo remains actively involved in several other initiatives, including key updates regarding its trademarks.
Nintendo’s Trademark Renewals
Recently, Nintendo has renewed several trademarks related to its iconic ‘Seal of Quality‘ in Japan. These renewals encompass various aspects of the gaming industry, covering everything from “home video game consoles” to “ROM cartridges that store video game program software.”
Impact on the Gaming Community
The revival of the ‘Seal of Quality’ has ignited discussions among fans, many expressing their concerns over the current state of the Switch eShop, which they feel has been flooded with low-quality titles and deceptive “scam games.” Players are advocating for a more curated selection of games that genuinely uphold the quality Nintendo is known for.
The Legend of Zelda Trademark Update
In addition to the Seal of Quality, Nintendo also renewed a trademark for The Legend of Zelda series. This trademark expands to cover various products and services, including household appliances, food items, and even medical products, indicating Nintendo’s broad approach to protecting its intellectual property.
What This Means for Trademark Practices
For a company with a long history like Nintendo, these trademark renewals are a standard procedure aimed at safeguarding their brand. While such updates don’t always result in new products, they illustrate Nintendo’s commitment to maintaining its well-established intellectual rights.
