They sue over this but not when ICE used their Pokemon IP on their videos?
That's 2 different companies (Nintendo vs The Pokemon Company). But also yeah, obviously they have much more to gain when it's about $200B.
I have to suspect it's 200b yen, even though the article states "$200 billion". The later with a 15% tarrif would imply $1.33 trillion in US sales in the last year, which I highly doubt
According to news sites, the US government took in about $166 billion, although I'm also seeing $175 billion floating around. CBP is claiming that they can't comply with the refund order as quickly as they want because of technological and manpower excuses. They're claiming that the large number of refunds and the current manpower is limiting their ability to quickly issue these refunds.
Manpower? They could use the ICE idiots as manpower
They'd be awfully upset if they could read what you just suggested.
You expect them to be able to read numbers?
The article states $166 billion in duties and tariffs total, not from Nintendo products. It doesn't actually state an amount for Nintendo in particular.
Sadly they had no legal standing on that due to parody law. I'm sure they would have of they could have.
nintendo only owns 1/3 of pokemon apparently, the other is gamefrek/masuda, i forgot the 3rd one.
The Pokémon Company owns the other third
The Pokémon Company is a joint venture between Nintendo, GameFreak and Creatures Inc. Control of TPC is what people mean when they say Nintendo/GameFreak "own" 30%.
The story behind the trio is an interesting read, and IIRC Creatures is like wholly owned by Nintendo anyway so they technically have majority control of TPC.
Music rights are notoriously convoluted. Long story short, that's not their department.
