As of January 9, 2015, Nintendo of America has abandoned one of its trademark registrations for the Virtual Console. According the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the registration was cancelled because the registrant did not file an acceptable declaration under Section 8. Section 8 filings are required to show continued use of the trademark, and a failure to file can result in the registration being cancelled.
