Re: Rebellion Studios sues Ironclad over name " Rebellion:
What a load of bullshit, this is up there with trademarking saga, fuck it lets just trademark every word in the dictionary as either a company or the same generic game, infact could create a game giving it the longest name in history, just the dictionary back to front, then we can just sue everyone that uses it or at least… -
Re: Rebellion Studios sues Ironclad over name " Rebellion:
You can trademark something of importance, in this case the game is SINS of a Solar Empire , rebellion is only the expansion name. If you want to get technical there was a star wars game, Star Wars Rebellion, so how can rebellion use that name then ? -

The funny second layer misunderstanding about this is that with every one of these articles people end up thinking that companies have to sue the… -
Re: Rebellion Studios sues Ironclad over name " Rebellion:
That's not really true either. It is pretty difficult to actually lose a trademark unless you are not actively using it (then it expires through abandonment). In this case, there is not going to be any consumer confusion between Rebellion (the developer) and Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion (the game), so policing the… -
Re: Rebellion Studios sues Ironclad over name " Rebellion:
Rebellion pre-dates that game by several years, but this is beside the point. We all know that the case is frivolous, but that doesn't change the fact that you can trademark an individual word's use within a given context. It's not limited to words either - you can also trademark things like colours. -
