MechWarrior Lawsuit Settled

MechWarrior Online Forums report the settlement of a lawsuit filed against Piranha Games by Harmony Gold, co-owner of the copyrights for the Robotech television series (thanks Rhialto). There was a trademark dispute between the two companies back in 2009, but this may be a different case, as in 2011 Piranha said "There is no legal battle," and the this post talks of settling a lawsuit after "more than a year." But the legal system does operate slowly, and from the statement, it does sound like the issue they cleared up is similar to the one first raised nine years ago:
Harmony Gold and Piranha Games are delighted to announce that they have ended their dispute. Piranha Games will continue to use the “classic” BattleTech designs and Harmony Gold and Piranha Games look forward to continuing to serve their respective fans and customers."
