	The goods and services covered by each of these trademarks are mostly the same, and broadly concern the distribution of video games (including virtual, augmented and mixed reality games), both downloadable and non-downloadable, as well as associated multimedia (e.g. audio and video). Crucially, the authentication of users and devices would be via the use of non-fungible tokens (<dfn><abbr>NFTs</abbr></dfn>).

	As of <time datetime="~~2023~~-12~~-18~~">~~18 December 2023~~</time>, the trademark for ''Scattered Brains''<ref name="Furm.com Scattered Brains" /> and ''Planet of the Pests''<ref name="Furm.com Planet of the Pests" /> are both marked "~~pending~~" at the ~~stage~~ of ~~final refusal~~, ~~meaning the trademark~~ is ~~in its current form inadmissible~~, ~~but may be re-evaluated with changes~~. ''NFTalent''<ref name="Furm.com NFTalent" /> and ''NFTalent Agency''<ref name="Furm.com NFTalent Agency" />~~, however,~~ are both marked "~~abandoned~~", citing a "failure to respond", which means unless a revival fee is paid, these trademarks remain invalid regardless of their admissibility. ~~This leaves ''DEDEX'' as the company's sole active trademark as of <time datetime="2024-02-12">12 February 2024</time>~~.		As of <time datetime="2025-08-12">12 August 2025</time>, the trademark for ''Scattered Brains''<ref name="Furm.com Scattered Brains" /> and ''Planet of the Pests''<ref name="Furm.com Planet of the Pests" /> are both marked "Pending", having both requested an extension to the Statement of Use submission deadline. ''DEDEX'' is currently also "Pending", however, Scattered Brains has so far not requested an extension to its submission deadline. As ''WARSPORT'' is, at the time of writing, extremely recent, there is no further information about it, beyond being submitted.

			''NFTalent''<ref name="Furm.com NFTalent" /> and ''NFTalent Agency''<ref name="Furm.com NFTalent Agency" /> are both marked "Abandoned", citing a "failure to respond", which means unless a revival fee is paid, these trademarks remain invalid regardless of their admissibility. Considering general market trends and opinions towards NFTs, it is unlikely Scattered Brains would continue developments towards this direction.
