Costa Rican Supermarket Wins Trademark Battle Against Nintendo
A small Costa Rican supermarket, owned by José Mario Alfaro González, won a legal battle against Nintendo over the trademark of the name 'Super Mario'. Nintendo, which holds the trademark for various categories, opposed the registration of the name for the supermarket. However, the National Registry ruled in favor of the supermarket, as the trademark did not cover the specific class for suppliers of basic food products. This victory highlights the challenges small businesses face against large corporations in trademark disputes.

The 'déjà vu' premieres of 2023
The film industry, particularly in Hollywood, has been leaning towards producing sequels, reboots, and remakes of past successes, a trend that continues into 2023. This strategy is seen as a safe bet by studio executives but also faces criticism for the lack of originality and the potential risk of industry implosion if these high-budget productions fail. The article lists numerous upcoming films for 2023 that fit this pattern, including entries from established franchises like 'Guardians of the Galaxy', 'Fast & Furious', and 'Indiana Jones', as well as adaptations and continuations of popular characters and stories such as 'Super Mario Bros', 'The Little Mermaid', and 'Spider-Man'.

Data Hacked to Buy Fortnite Currency
Nintendo suffered a significant data breach last year, with the personal identifiable information (PII) of 300,000 users being leaked. The breach was part of a scheme to purchase Fortnite cryptocurrency. The leaked data included nicknames, birth dates, countries, email addresses, and more. The breach was first disclosed by Nintendo in April, with an update in June. Hackers used 'spoofed' logins to obtain login IDs and passwords. Nintendo has since taken measures to improve security, such as abolishing NNID logins and resetting passwords. Security experts like Nick Espinosa and Ben Goodman have commented on the breach, discussing the importance of multifactor authentication and the potential for passwordless solutions. The article also mentions previous Nintendo breaches, highlighting the ongoing cybersecurity challenges the company faces.
