Things for study Hazelight, the developer behind It Takes Two, are getting complicated. All due to a trademark lawsuit made by Take-two, the company behind Rockstar games.
This lawsuit began before the game went on sale earlier this year. Things turned out in such a way that this company had no choice but to relinquish and relinquish ownership of the name of this title.
It Takes Two was in the sights of Take-Two
Some media sought to approach Hazelight for more information. But a spokesperson for the study responded ‘we cannot comment on ongoing disputes’, but added that the team had ‘hopes that it will be resolved ‘.
This company did not deny that it was forced to drop the brand name from this title. It is something that can be seen in an abandonment note sent to the Patent and Trademark Office from USA
This appeared right after the claim of Take-two. Hazelight has not commented on how the above impacted his ability to sell anything related to It Takes Two, as well as to promote it.
Nor if he has plans to change the name, or in that case, if he is contemplating a sequel. And what does it say Take-two about this whole thing? This publisher has not commented on this case.
Grand Theft Auto publisher has attacked several companies
Electronic arts, who took over publishing the game, has also said nothing. What happened is not something isolated: Take-two has made a multitude of copyright claims to various businesses and products.
Especially those related to terms like rockstar, social club, mafia, civilization and more. Among them is a Chinese company from Beijing that registered the name Starrocks and a clothing brand known as Max fayne.
Among those affected are also several restaurants, tattoo parlors and other small businesses that have used the word rockstar in her name.
What Think Like A Rockstar, a brand of musical books for concerts; or Rockstar Ax Throwing, of throwing axes. While the first company had to give in, the second is still up for grabs. But it does not seem to be the same case of It Takes Two and Hazelight.
