How did Kabam Get the Rights to Use Taito's Name?

Pretty sure there might be some legal issues in using a foreign company name for profit?

Also love the easter egg of the MCOC arcade stand

It's a reference to the Arcade games Taito makes/made. You're assuming they used the name without permission, which I don't know why you would go straight to that.

But given it looks nothing like the actual studios logo, I doubt anything will happen.

Ahhh I see. Well some companies like Nintendo doesn't like it when their names are used too on other media. But it is what it is.

It boils down to what Taito has as their registered trademark, which they have one. Nintendo has a registered trademark on their name and are very aggressive about it.

Taito may only have a trademark on their logo design or they may have gone the Nintendo route. But more than anything, I'd be willing to bet that Kabam has permission or paid to use the name.

Nintendo is one of the most aggressive companies regarding anything associated with them. I don't think they are a fair benchmark to use for anyone else lmaoo.

Nintendo needs to chill actually.
Pokemon fan games > their official **** ones (especially the recent ones). They can make billions if they try to accquire some of the cool fan games tbh.

Eh they’ve made ok ones but they’ve fallen off a lot after BW 2 which I think was the pinnacle of content in a Pokémon game. Still excited for Z tho
