Ferrio said:No, no it doesn't. A huge company with tons of a fucking cash works. It's actually quite sad it's taken this long.
I NEED SCISSORS said:Lol, and people doubted EA is a company for good.
Fixed .Rctdaemon said:With that settled, can we have Mirror's EDGE 2 now EA? Please?
I just drank mine!Evlar said:Gonna make mine a Sam Adams Octoberfest. Cheers!
Don't know that I'd go that far...I NEED SCISSORS said:Lol, and people doubted EA is a company for good.
Most of the stuff about Langdell doctoring submissions and faking evidence had been reported on some of the edgewatch blogs...but man, seeing it in a legal brief just blows my mind. How could Langdell possibly think he could get away with even half of the shit he tried to pull?Rctdaemon said:There's some interesting stuff in that ruling:
- Mirror's Edge has sold more than 2,000,000 copies worldwide and a Mac version is apparently slated for release later this year.
- Langdell submitted faked evidence concerning EDGE Magazine, referring to it as "our EDGE Games magazine."
- He also submitted a "scanned copy of our comic book EDGE," which was actually published by Malibu Comics (owned by Marvel) in the 1990s.
- The website for the game Mythos, which Langdell claimed EDGE had been selling since 2004, was not actually registered until 2008.
- He doctored "TM" symbols and his other trademarks into multiple submissions to the USPTO, including one box art from EA (Garfield: Winter's Tail)
- His fraudulent USPTO submissions could result in criminal penalties and rendering the trademarks invalid.
- There is not significant likelihood of confusion between Mirror's Edge and EDGE games for multiple reasons.
- According to an earlier trademark ruling, if a trademark is not used for three consecutive years, that is considered abandonment.
- Since Langdell waited until 21 months after the release of Mirror's Edge and had abandoned his trademarks, his claims of irreparable harm are moot as well.
With that settled, can we have Mirror's Edge 2 now EA? Please?

Good news though.

Mostly because he'd been getting away with it for nearly 15 years. 90% of the time people just settled and the other 10% saw him winning in court with his faked USTPO filings.

But then he met the wrong people and made the classic mistake that all frauds make. He got greedy.
What will be interesting now is what happens when those licensees decide they want their money back. And what happens when the people he sued for damages want theirs back too. And most importantly what happens when the USTPO find out that he's been falsifying documents and using them in court.
Tim Langdell will end up penniless and likely in jail. And that is why you don't defraud the government for financial gain.
Since the iPad Mirror's Edge came out in April and the iPhone one came out in September, I doubt it.crispyben said:One can only hope this was the only thing holding them back...

Using time travel to claim he never actually abandoned his trademark? Smart.phisheep said:... it is dated 4th NOVEMBER 2010 ...
This should be fun.
