Tralaicious Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I happen to come across this randomly, it appears that EA dropped their trademark registration of Earth & Beyond? Or am I reading this all wrong.https://trademarks.justia.com/756/96/earth-and-beyond-75696742.htmlSerial Number 75696742 Registration Number 2678477 Word Mark EARTH AND BEYOND Status 710 - Cancelled - Section 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackman [LDEV] Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 It means that the word mark has been dropped,so they cannot file a law suit against another comppany using that name/brand for a sofwatre (prefer. games). The IP isnt touched at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarg Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 The game IP mostly falls under copyright law, which thanks largely to lobbying from the mighty mouse, keeps having the timelines for copyright to fall into public domain extend into the future. -Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esp. for software the so called "abandonware handling" becomes more important -> see WIKI "abandonware". Short version: Abandoned software will mostly lapse into the public domain.
