Warner Brothers would have your ass first for violating their copyright on Tom and Jerry.
Also: Nintendo has gotta be the shittiest patent trolls ever. Like, I am used to hearing about the kinds that just patent a fuckton of random shit that does not already exist in the hopes someone actually invents the thing; but Nintendo has been applying for patents for things that already exist and are done by hella people, just to litigate their competition to death recently.
Nintendos behavior is why I won't be buying anymore of their shit
They even tried to patent relative physics recently. Meaning to calculate an object's speed based in the speed of another object, which is absolutely crucial for decades now to avoid issues when something sits on too of something else.
(Remember old games freaking out when you jumped on a moving object? Calculating each object's velocity indipendently from each other in relation to the outside world instead of each other was a bad idea)
Ah yes, patenting laws of physics
Don't you know? I invented those laws!
Which means that the patents are void to start with. But they can still be used to bankrupt a smaller company with court battles regarless. The fact that patents with obvious prior art get granted so easily is a wild.
Copyright is not that similar to a patent
