Only the lawyers will win... glad I'm married to one!
Also Valve has 2 people who worked one it, the first one who made it "Allstars" and the current maintainer. Icefrog and Eul or something (their names mean nothing to me).
There is a company called Dota Allstars LLC or similar that owns the Defense of the Ancients trademark that was done back around 2005 or similar. It is currently owned by Blizzard (they bought the company from somebody who also had a lot to do with the Dota allstars website).
It's a big fkin mess, and the easiest thing would be if Valve avoided the name... Blizzard does have a right on some level but at the same time they don't. Valve put their hand in the cookie jar and wanted to paint their name on it.
The Blizzard EULA also has something about mods and ownership... but I haven't seen it to comment on that.
As I started... the lawyers will win and the gamers will come away knowing that both wasted time and money and should have avoided the situation in the first place. |
