LucasArts Battles On 23 Mar, 2001 / Comments: 9

By Spaff


IE Magazine have reported news of a lawsuit filed against LucasArts:
ieMag.com has received word that The 3DO Co. last week filed a trademark infringement suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against LucasArts Entertainment Co. LLC and Lucas Licensing Ltd. A 3DO spokesperson refused to provide any information, citing a company policy against discussing pending litigation, and requests for comment to 3DO?s attorney and LucasArts representatives weren?t returned by the time this story was posted.

I'll keep you posted, any ideas what this could concern?

    This sounds frighteningly like the N. Stouffer / J.K Rowling thing...

    Yeah! Stouffer's full of crap, BTW.

    Good god! I just realised, its the same Trapezoid from a.f.h-p! WHEE!

    They just want money. Its a trademark of our culture.

    Here, take a look at this helpful US government site. Apparently 3DO registered "Star Fighter" as a trademark in 1995. Doesn't the lack of a space in LucasArts' usage change things at all?

    Actually, search for 'Starfighter' here and you turn up a whole bunch of stuff (mainly 'dead' trademarks, though). I wonder if they're also going after Lockheed Martin, and those guys who make the Star Fighter fireworks... :)

    Hmmm... Their "Battletanx" game does look a lot like "Demolition"...
