Mythic sues Micro$oft

KiamdeKiamde Member CommonPosts: 5,820

Mythic Entertainment, the veteran developer and publisher of several popular online games, has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft for trademark infringement and unfair competition. The developer and publisher, most recently known for Dark Age of Camelot on the PC, has filed suit in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Alexandria. The suit alleges that Microsoft's upcoming online game Mythica and the prerelease publicity for the game infringes on Mythic's name and federally-registered trademark of Mythic Entertainment, which amounts to unfair competition in violation of federal and state law. The complaint alleges that the term "Mythica" is similar to Mythic's registered mark and name, which is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception among consumers. Mythic is seeking a permanent injunction, in addition to economic remedies. Mythic Entertainment previously objected to Microsoft's use of "Mythica," but Microsoft refused to stop using the name.
