I wonder if the copyright covers all female gendered Pac-Man characters?
I can't imagine the IP is so precious that consumers wouldn't accept a "pac-sis" sister in her place or some doughy-eyed infant version "pac-girl" with a pacifier and bib.
I'd have to assume such obvious derivatives are covered. But maybe not?
edit, apparently, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Pac-Man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Pac-Man right ... where's that IP now?
Also this is apparently some wild hybrid where you can flow between pinball and the video screen

- LeafItAlone 2y ago> I wonder if the copyright covers all female gendered Pac-Man characters? The original article discusses Pac-Mom, so presumably not.
- lmm 2y agoWhether Pac-Mom is a copyright-infringing design may just be a question that hasn't hit the courts yet.
- RodgerTheGreat 2y agoFYI, the figure of speech is "doe-eyed", as in having large eyes evocative of a female deer, not "dough-eyed".
- InDubioProRubio 2y agoSo dough-eyed, is the look of an overnighted baker, who got into a fistfight?
