Langdell Loses His Edge

[Akalistos]

hahaha, that's what happens when you try to waltz with the big boys Langdell, you should have stuck to bullying micro-studios.

You dug your grave, EA just pushed you in and is going to bury you forever.

Good riddance.

I don't think it he should have stuck with micro-studios. Imagine if they had name themselves Life Studio. We probably wouldn't have Half-Life nor Valve now. They shouldn't have waited 15 years either to catch his wrong doing either. I think this is the sad part; What incredible game could the Micro-Studios that were sued would have release? What are we missing out because of that guy?

WOOOOOOOT!

Fuck you Langdell!

Seriously, just hearing stories of his crap was enough to piss me off, I hope he ends up in jail.

Relax dude, relax. I'm going to teach you a new word.(ok, two) Counter-suing! Meaning that He's gonna face E.A. again for their money lost during the first trial. Then, he'll be broke, go directly to jail, won't pass go and won't collect his 200$... wait!?!?

Oh I know, he's screwed now.

If he loses that trademark, I think that means nobody he's already strong armed into paying him has to continue their licensing payments, I'm not sure if there's some sort of grandfather-law in losing a trademark, but I am fairly confident there isn't

You are right, but they can also sue him for Fraud. Imagine, "you" have paid for trademark that wasn't there to begin with. If he lose his trademark AND say it wasn't valid, ALL OF THE SUED COULD COME BACK.

You can't hurt a guy like that if you didn't hit his weak point. His wallet.

Now, if only they could get Activision to cut this shit out...

Fucking Finally! This is a huge weight off the shoulders of various developers i'll bet! lets hope edge of twilight will be released eventually and no-one will ever be so silly as to claim copywright over a single word within any industry ever. not that this last thing will happen though...

It's about damned time this happened. Though it still baffles me how anyone could trademark the word "edge". This is what he gets for pickin' on a huge company like EA.
