The new Ayaneo Flip DS packs faster specs than the Steam Deck, but its clamshell dual-screen design reminds us of Nintendo's classic handheld.

    I think the general likeness of the product and intended use plays a large part when it comes to lawsuits regarding trademarks etc…

    Consider this product:

    • It’s a gaming console
    • It’s dual screen
    • It’s clamshell
    • It has the abbreviation “DS” in their model name, hinting at dual screens.

    Compare that to a fictional product, an European rustbucket of a car: the Centaur Avante DS 340.

    • Is not a gaming console
    • Doesn’t have dual screen
    • Is not clamshell
    • Has the abbreviation “DS” in their model name, hinting at “Direct Steering” since it’s the model without powersteering.

    I think this product would be more at risk of being sued by Nintendo rather than the fictional car manufacturer…
