Since its foundation, NEC transferred most of the related PC Engine trademarks, including games published by NEC Home Electronics in Japan to NEC BIGLOBE. As of July 2023, the trademark is jointly owned by BIGLOBE and Konami, who inherited the trademark rights from Hudson Soft before being self-absorbed into Konami themselves in March 2012.[2] This did not include the rights of NEC Avenue and NEC Interchannel games for the system, which was previously owned by Lightweight and is currently owned by M2.[3][4]
