Universal once sued Nintendo over Donkey Kong — now they’re making a DK movie together
In 1983, Universal sued Nintendo, claiming Donkey Kong infringed on its King Kong trademark. Nintendo’s attorney (and future board member,) Howard Lincoln, had to enlist the help of attorney John Kirby for his record of winning big cases, and it paid off big. Universal’s claims that Donkey Kong could be confused with King Kong fell on deaf ears.
Nintendo and Universal register trademark for Donkey Kong movie
Donkey Kong appeared in the 2023 Mario film and was portrayed by Seth Rogen. DK was also added to Universal’s theme park pantheon with the opening of Super Nintendo World Orlando, which features a Donkey Kong Country area. Donkey Kong is set to star in his own 3D platformer this month with the release of Donkey Kong Bananza.
