Nintendo set for trademark battle over WaraWara Plaza

Restaurant chain operator Monteroza has filed a trademark claim against Nintendo, Japanese media reported yesterday.

Monteroza says that the name of Wii U’s WaraWara Hiroba, known as WaraWara Plaza in the west, is too similar to that of its Wara-wara chain of izakaya (Japanese-style pubs). It has filed a request with the Patent Office to have Nintendo’s trademark registration revoked.
