I hope Take Two loses this, what an absolutely disgusting publisher to file something as baseless as this.
There is no star or blue/yellow background on Remedy's logo, even the R is a different color
Unfortunately, they've won these frivolous, copyright-trolling lawsuits before.
That's sad to hear, ugh...
Thanks for sharing the article though, I never knew they went after that game
There has been tons of stuff called "It takes Two." Why go after just the game?
Assholes. This is clearly not infringing, because they are quite different. If this goes through, we will have the copyright wars on letters, where one company blocks all others.
Trademarks are very different from patents. They are the one form of IP that basically everyone should be okay with. Unlike copyright and patents, they are more about consumer protection than about control.
It absolutely is an important distinction when you're saying "stuff like this happens a lot" with reference to patent-trolling, but there's no such thing as "Trademark-trolling"
Next up: Apple sues orchards for producing fruit shaped like their logo.
Not as bad but there is this https://www.popsci.com/technology/apple-swiss-trademark/ I guess Apple wants to own the apple fruit image.
Itโs actually Apple records sues computer company for stealing their name.
Can take two go fuck themselves for once man
Just Take Two being their usual asshole self.
I hope they both go down when Team Rocket hears about this
Aren't they working together on the Max Payne remake?
How does this shit get to court when they are literally partners in something?!
The answer is greed.
"You can't use that R! That's OUR R!"
What an idiotic reson.
Are they going to go after Rackspace Hosting next? After all, thatโs another technology company that uses an R logo. Or do they get a pass because itโs a lower case R. Didnโt know if Take-Two had a monopoly on all R logos or just capital ones.
It doesn't even look the same at all! do they really think they own the letter R?
The battle of the Rs
In both meanings of the letter.
