What’s wrong with those of you who
think you’re entitled to Castle World TM.

Castle World TM?
Since when?
I don’t recall ‘Castle World’ being claimed as a trademark on LUGNET before.
It is not claimed as a trademark on the website.
It is a term now in common use to denote a sort of castle community thing.
It is generally still capitalized, so that’s a plus for the claim.
If it is a valid trademark, who owns it (legally), and what is the ownership
structure?
In the discussion on the future of castle world, there hasn’t been mention (from
those who should know) that there was a question over the rights to use the
Castle World name.
And there are other users of Castle World too. A quick Google found such gems as
this toy, this
poem and an
inflatables company in
England. All happily using what you think is your trademark. You’d better get
out there and take out injunctions against them! After you figure out who it is
that owns the trademark, of course.
LEGO fans to tend to go a bit berserk with ‘tm’s left right and centre, and
Larry’s been jumping up and down about them for years... so it is odd that
Castle World doesn’t seem to have had one claimed. But even if one had been
claimed, well, if you don’t enforce them, you stand to lose them. Here we are
years down the track, and hear the first mention of the ‘tm’.

| At one point the professional artwork was created and owned by Craig Hamilton. I believe between the ‘group’ of them, they owned the artwork and existing sketches of TIOM’s intended map, and other aspects of their creations. Registered Trade Mark or (...)
