Today, on January 26, 2015, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited filed in Europe a trademark application for "Resistance". It is a basic Community trade mark (CTM) filing for Computer game software, Toys, games and playthings and Electronic games services provided by means of the Internet. The filing entered the database of the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) today, and reads as follows:
The original trademark for "Resistance:Fall of Man" was registered in Europe on October 9, 2007, and will expire on March 8 next year. That filing has seen no changes as far as I can tell.
For U.S. serial number trademark 78819976, "Resistance Fall of Man", a Combined Declaration of Use and Incontestability under Sections 8 & 15 was filed in July last year. U.S. serial number trademark 77645307, Resistance, has not seen any events since 2010. No new filings of "Resistance" has been made public by the USPTO at time of writing.
Whether this is for something entirely new or for protection only I don't know, to be noted is that Resistance: Burning Skies for PS Vita was released in 2012. For this filing to be connected specifically to that seems a bit strange however, and that they waited for so long to submit an application doesn't make much sense.
There you have it anyway. I don't have access to full information at the moment, but will update this post in a few hours should anything interesting emerge.
