So they say they are the legal owners of the super Mario run trademark and then it's solved. You had me intrigued for a second, thought it was a case like the iPad mini not being trademarked because mini is merely an added descriptive word of the already trademarked iPad.
Correct. As I said, this is nothing major and I brought it up merely as an example of the inefficiency of some USPTO protocols/systems. Nintendo has experienced similar scenarios with some Pokémon trademarks and The Pokémon Company.
 

I don't know about Mario but Luigi is Mexican

Wouldn't surprise me if this was some kind of automated response, to finding similar trademarks from technically different companies. I would hope that if a human had actually looked at the filings, they would have approved it.

It'll get sorted soon enough, but it is pretty stupid.
