I just posted in the Vine thing about this, how CoH has been using this name for the upcoming release and the first post under mine said "copywrite infringment".


Think CoH has a case?

36 level 50's in various servers...haven't been here in a while. It's now over 50

I wonder if Palin can pull off Desdemona's look.

Not likely.

First, it's copyright, not copywrite. Sorry, pet peeve.

Second, it'd actually be a trademark infringement, not a copyright infringement.

Third, different companies can own and use the same and similar trademarks under a number of circumstances. If you search in TESS (the USPTO's online trademark search system), you'll see plenty of duplicate trademarks. As long as the similar trademarks don't lead to customer confusion, there generally isn't a problem. You could, for example, have the same words used by different companies for a car and for a prescription drug. These products and companies don't compete with each other, and no customer is likely to accidentally buy a car when she needed a painkiller or vice versa. (There are exceptions, such as when using famous trademarks, or when you, say, use an unrelated trademark to imply endorsement -- if you created a product called the "Special Hannah Montana Salad Dressing" without securing permission, you'd likely have a swarm of Disney lawyers descend upon you.)

Incidentally, the exact trademark registered by NCSoft is "City of Heroes Going Rogue".

Is it just me, or does the quote "[She] has been unbelievably conscientious and hands-on at every stage, investing herself deeply and passionately in this project," give off a certain spectral vibe?

Funny. Aside, I do want Palin's 'Updo' hairstyle added to CoH as an option - heck, call it 'Palin'

Well, Mark Martin used to drive the Viagra car in NASCAR . . . it really stood out from the competition . . .

Wonder if there'll be a book signing in the NCSoft booth next year at Comicon?

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Saw that title in an article about former Gov. Palin's book this morning - I didn't know she even played!

My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.

Even funnier aside:
The person who ghost wrote this for Palin?

Also co-wrote several books with white supremacists.

While I am sure that this will come up again, please let me restate that political threads are not allowed. And any thread involving Mrs. Palin will fall under that heading.

Kinda humorous the coincidence though I admit.
