All Shelby has released is a drawing that puts him on track to be sued by Nintendo for trademark infringement.

A copyright owner cant prove infringement by pointing to features of his work that are found in the defendants work as well but that are so rudimentary, commonplace, standard, or unavoidable that they do not serve to distinguish one work within a class of works from another.
The "stock" idea of working class hero, gaining abilities from powerups, and South European origin are however all usable.
Features of above logo:
✓ Wavy moustache
✓ Pointed eyebrows
✓ Eyes with misaligned pupils
✓ Semi-long nose
✓ Hair above a music headphone
I presume DecentralizeEconomics is alleging infringement on Wario?


✓ Jagged moustache
✓ Curved eyebrows
✓ Eyes with aligned pupils
✓ Stubbed nose
✓ Hair on the sides under a hat
The plaintiff rests.
Are you seriously sticking with the claim that no one can use a nose, eyeballs, eyebrows, and a moustache in a logo, because Nintendo used those features in one of their game characters

My logo sketch does not resemble Wario which has a hat. The features are all different.
By your logic, Nintendo is violating Paramount Pictures's intellectual property and Saddam Hussein's likeness:
