Events gradually pop up on Nintendo Switch Online service that offer redeemable icon elements, such as Cohozuna and Big Man from Splatoon 3, and Kicks from Animal Crossing. Events are available for a limited time but may pop up again showing past elements. Normally you need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to redeem them, but a few events required Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack instead - so I couldn't redeem the Super Mario 64 penguin icon since it required that.
Now all of a sudden, you need to play games one to three times depending on the event, in order to redeem the icon elements with points, but you still need an active Nintendo Switch Online membership to redeem the elements. The ones that require you to play three times to redeem icon elements require you to play the game three times, 24 hours in between each session, and the sessions must be undertaken while online and still having an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. You can't just launch the game once or even three times in a row in these instances. So now all of a sudden you need to basically own the game for at least two to three days. You could redeem event icon elements without owning the games before this change happened, as there was no such requirement.
This is despite the icon elements still being on a rotation - the current Super Mario World icon elements are only available to redeem until April 1, and the Animal Crossing ones are claimed to switch on Mondays.
I hope they do one of three things. One, they revert this change entirely, and remove the gameplay requirement. Two, they keep the game play requirement, but make it so you don't actually need Nintendo Switch Online to redeem them or count towards the game play requirement. Or three, they now have the entire element list available at all times - but in order to get the older icon elements outside of special events, you need to meet the game play requirements like right now, while special events will let you redeem the elements without having to meet game play requirements.
Justia works with US trademarks and law. In the US trademarks currently need to be renewed every 10 years - prior to the reduction in the late 1900s they appear to be needed to be renewed only every 20 years. I don't live in the UK, so the apparent 30 year renew requirement is much longer.
Also it seems Wizards of the Coast were somehow able to keep their Planescape UK trademark registration intact despite letting every other Planescape related trademark registration become canceled/abandoned. I'm not sure if they had to keep up with the trademark, or if registrations in the UK last much longer without having to be kept up to date. I guess they let it lapse at the time in the US for some reason, but when they started Dungeon Master's Guild, I think they realized they should have live registrations for the legacy setting names they had to have more power under the law to manage the use of them. I think a company would want to keep other companies in check when they're licensing certain IPs to others.
