Indeed. *wicked grin* I'm sure there were some marketing executives with bad headaches on Thursday morning.
To be so myopic that you think because you began releasing e-books about your IP, you can bring suit against previously published e-books under common law, even though your trademark is for "board games, parlor games, war games, hobby games, toy models and miniatures of buildings, scenery, figures, automobiles, vehicles, planes, trains and card games and paint, sold therewith" and "video computer games; computer software for playing games"... (Though many people have noted they haven't done squat about Activision/Blizzard's StarCraft - it's not near so much fun to take on someone your own size.) I suspect what they need at this point is an excuse to back down with at least a modicrum of grace. Which could happen if Hogarth can acquire some pro bono help.
