On: Costa Rican supermarket wins trademark battle agai...

If the market decides to start selling Nintendo or Mario products, could they get in trouble?

Does this prevent the market from expanding to selling other types of products even if they never sell a Nintendo or video-game-related product?

I can buy video game gift cards at my local supermarkets. (I'm aware my local law and definition of "supermarket" may not apply here.)

As a supermarket, they clearly sell more than just basic food products. They have cookware and more.

Interesting. Wonder if we'll get a sequel to this case someday.

Well, they'd better not make any games that use the market's name...

I would encourage you Google something to the effect of: super Mario-branded food

I would have posted a lmgtfy link for you, but I have faith you can manage it yourself.

Notwithstanding the sassmouth and the fact it doesn't address any of my questions, that does make this more interesting. Nintendo has food trademarks, so their position against the supermarket is even more legitimate, IMO.
