Today, Nintendo made an announcement on its website that it filed a lawsuit against japanese go-kart firm MariCAR. MariCAR has been in business for a couple of years, offering customers to dress up like Mario Kart characters and drive through the streets of Tokyo with Go-Karts. According to the filing, MariCAR infringes the copyright of Nintendo and is in violation of the country's Unfair Competition Prevention Act. Specifically it says that MariCAR's service causes confusion with Nintendo's Mario Kart trademark, pointing out that it provides Nintendo character costumes to customers as well as promote its service with Nintendo's intellectual property.
