FWIW, the fact they worked out this trademark situation and apparently bought the rights to the Darkfall trademark from the previous trademark owner is probably the strongest [only?] evidence to date that these developers actually have a game on their hands that might possibly release.

go away. They didn't buy anything from anyone.
Did you read what I posted or not? I thought I explained it pretty clearly. Companies don't just waive their trademark rights because they think it is the right thing to do. They waive their trademark rights when money changes hands, generally.

Oh so you're saying someone bought the Darkfall trademark from them? and that's why they abandoned it?
Ya real smart.
And stop claiming "FACT". You're just pulling bullshit out of your ass.
The "FACT" is that Dark Fall: the journal is the reason why they cannot get their name trademarked here.

If you can't understand simple English, why are you arguing with people on an English discussion board? [Not a rhetorical question.]
Everything I said is a fact is available on the USPTO website for anyone to go verify, I'm just not going to comb through it again because it takes a while if you are not an expert.
Nothing you said is a fact, They did not buy any trademark rights from anyone.
The fact is that they only have 1 live application still in the system which is suspended and has been in troubles and suspended since 2003.
And that is the one that gives them legal rights to use "Darkfall" as a computer game commercially within the USA.
Technically you don't need a trademark. But the fact that someone already has a copyright on this name it would be a completely idiotic thing to release the game with that name. They could get sued instantly even if the current owners allow them to use it. They could at anytime change their minds..
The fact is -- the trademark atorneys job is to make sure 100% without a shadow of a doubt that there could never be any legal problems from a trademark they allow through. If there's even a tiny risk they will never allow it through.
"Darkfall" is just completely tainted with potential problems and that's why it still is not through since 2003.

Well they have that nifty sign on their offices. Pretty sure they paid someone for that.
You realize those offices are in greece, right? As in EU, not the U.S. You cannot use the same name as someone else in the U.S. just because you have the name in Europe.
... That's false... The trade federation doesn't state a product as dead... They state it as dismissed if the company doesn't finish it or sell it... I hope you learn something OP...

It was already pointed out earlier in the thread that they didn't abandon it, they just didn't give sufficient response when requested. It's already been taken care of.
As for the "pulling bullshit out of your ass"... Pot, meet Kettle.

Maybe not but I'm pretty sure I can buy a sign that says anything I want anywhere in the world they sell signs if I have enough money.
