EA has to sue to cancel Langdell’s Trademarks
We all know of EA’s Mirror’s Edge but what a lot of us don’t know is about a legal dispute between Tim Langdell and EA over the use of the word Edge which Langdell trademarked for use in any video game period. Apparently Langdell has hassled anybody about the use if the word and including an iphone game called Edge which had to be pulled from the app store due to it’s name.
“EA has filed a complaint to put an end to legal threats over a trademark issue related to our game, Mirror’s Edge,” company spokesman Jeff Brown said Tuesday. “While this seems like a small issue for EA, we think that filing the complaint is the right thing to do for the developer community.”
Langdell tried to say EA’s attempt was to be able to use the title’s Mirror’s Edge while disconnecting Langdell from it. This is actually the most righteous thing EA has done in a long while even if they were doing it for their own benefit. Coincidentally it would make it better for EA and the developer community.
