The name "Pitchnut" is a registered trademark by Lee Larcheveque, who coined and trademarked the name. In French-speaking areas of Canada, the game is called pichenotte, which is French for ''. There are several other disk-flicking games which are also referred to as 'pichenotte' by French speakers. Many modern boards are in use, made mostly by Lee Larcheveque, and before him, by Achille Scalabrini, in Sainte-Edwidge-de-Clifto
