Rare's design of DK is trademarked, Capcom never trademarked Vaati. In fact i think it falls under Nintendo uber "Game, sound effects, music, game scenario, characters, first born all registered trademarks of Nintendo we kill you" but i'd have to check.
But yeah Rare's DK and Nintendo's DK actually look different and they did that because they each own a different design, but Rare cant USE that DK design without Nintendo's permission hence a trust contract.
