MariCar ordered to pay Nintendo damages of 50 million yen

Going back to February 2017, Nintendo had been engaged with a lawsuit against MariCAR. The Big N took issue with the service, which had a name reminiscent to that of Mario Kart and had people dressing up as its characters while driving through Tokyo in go-karts. Ultimately, Nintendo felt that MariCAR was infringing upon its IP.
While a court decision had already been reached, MariCar Inc. has been ordered to pay Nintendo damages of 50 million yen, which amounts to about $500,000. The Tokyo District Court previously required MariCar to pay 10 million yen. The final amount was increased by an appeals court today.

Reggie Fils-Aime recently appeared on the Present Value podcast. The former Nintendo of America president discussed his time at the Big N in-depth, and at one point, was asked about what companies need to think about when building a brand.
Reggie spoke about Nintendo becoming a powerhouse in the gaming industry and how it was a team effort – specifically a “high-functioning, strong leadership team that disagreed in private but was aligned in public and drove the business forward.” He also discussed an experience he had in which Nintendo of America was taking the company’s well-known logo in different directions to try and appeal to an older demographic. This is when he was first starting out. However, Reggie realized that in order to appeal to a mainstream audience, they needed “to do it based on what the brand stood for, and not doing it in some false way.”
