What this is
The US design mark for the Poké Ball shape: registered to Nintendo of America on 6 February 2024 through the international (Madrid) system, with priority from September 2022, covering 18 product classes, colours red, white and black.
How it’s built
- From the record in the US Patent and Trademark Office's trademark database.
What we assumed
- A claimed class is a right, not proof of use.Registering in 18 classes allows licensing in them; it does not show products exist in each.
Sanity check
The register names Nintendo of America as owner, not The Pokémon Company, and records the claimed colours red, white and black.
