Nintendo sufre un revés de marca registrada en Costa Rica

En un resultado legal inesperado, Nintendo ha perdido una disputa de marca registrada contra un pequeño supermercado costarricense, "Súper Mario". El supermercado defendió con éxito su marca registrada, argumentando que el nombre era una combinación legítima de su tipo de negocio y el primer nombre de su gerente, Mario.

La batalla legal comenzó en 2024 cuando Nintendo desafió la renovación de marca registrada del supermercado. Nintendo afirmó el nombre infringido en su marca Super Mario reconocida mundialmente, inextricablemente vinculada a su famoso personaje de videojuego. La marca registrada del supermercado fue inicialmente registrada en 2013 por el hijo del propietario, Charito, luego de su graduación universitaria.

Sin embargo, la defensa legal del supermercado, encabezada por el asesor José Edgardo Jiménez Blanco, argumentó con éxito que el nombre no tenía la intención de capitalizar la propiedad intelectual de Nintendo. El tribunal aceptó la explicación de que "Súper Mario" era un descriptor directo del negocio y su gerente.

Charito expresó un inmenso alivio y gratitud hacia su equipo legal, afirmando que casi concedieron la derrota contra un oponente tan formidable. La victoria garantiza la operación continua de "Súper Mario" bajo su nombre actual.

Si bien Nintendo tiene derechos exclusivos de la marca registrada de Super Mario en numerosas categorías de productos en muchos países, este caso subraya las complejidades de la ley de marcas registradas, particularmente cuando las marcas establecidas encuentran empresas más pequeñas con reclamos creíbles con un nombre similar. El resultado sirve como una historia de advertencia, incluso para los gigantes de la industria que enfrentan desafíos para proteger su propiedad intelectual.

Shadow of the Monkey King: PS5 Patch Delivers Major Performance Boost, But 93GB Download Warning Sends Players Scrambling The highly anticipated Shadow of the Monkey King — officially titled Wukong — has just dropped a major performance patch for PlayStation 5, promising smoother frame rates, enhanced ray-tracing, and improved load times. However, fans are reacting with a mix of excitement and frustration after discovering the patch’s staggering 93GB download size. What’s New in the Patch? According to the official patch notes released by Game Science, the update brings several key improvements: Stable 60fps at 4K Resolution: The game now maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in most gameplay scenarios, a significant upgrade from the variable performance in the initial launch. Ray-Traced Lighting & Reflections: Enhanced visual fidelity with more realistic lighting and environmental reflections, especially in the game’s lush, mythological landscapes. Faster Load Times: Level transitions and open-world travel have been optimized, reducing loading times by up to 40%. Bug Fixes & Stability: Numerous crash fixes and AI behavior adjustments have been implemented based on player feedback. The team has also added a new "Performance Mode" that prioritizes frame rate over resolution, ideal for players who value smooth gameplay over ultra-high graphics. The 93GB Download: A Double-Edged Sword While the improvements are undeniable, the 93GB patch has sparked controversy. For context, the base game was already around 80GB — meaning the patch adds nearly 120% more data. Players on limited storage devices, particularly those with older PS5 models (1TB or 2TB), are alarmed. Many have reported that the patch not only eats up valuable space but may force them to delete other games to make room. Sony has since confirmed that the patch is required to access certain new features, including the expanded "Spirit Realm" side quests and new difficulty modes. Community Reaction “My PS5 only has 2TB, and I’ve already got 100+ games. I don’t even have the storage to test the patch!” – @GamerFromShangriLa “The visuals are gorgeous, but 93GB? That’s more than some whole console games.” – @PixelPanda99 “I’ll take the performance gains… but maybe next time, send a patch that doesn’t require a hard drive upgrade.” – @WukongWarrior Some players are turning to external SSDs, while others are demanding better compression or incremental updates in future patches. What’s Next? Game Science has acknowledged the backlash and said they’re exploring ways to optimize future updates with delta patches. They’ve also hinted at a potential "lightweight" version of the game for lower-end systems. For now, if you’re a fan of Wukong, the patch is worth the download — just make sure you’ve got the space, patience, and a good internet connection. Pro Tip: Use a high-speed external SSD and schedule the download overnight to avoid disrupting gameplay. Shadow of the Monkey King continues to impress with its unique blend of Chinese mythology, fluid combat, and breathtaking art direction. Just don’t forget to double-check your storage before hitting "download." 🐒💥 Lectura
