Following a Take complaint

Under the pressure of a Take-Two publisher's complaint, Haze light, the studio founded by Josef Fares, was obliged to send to the US Patent Office a notification of abandonment of ownership on The trademark IT Takes Two.

Hard blow for the Haze light studio, whose last realization, it Takes Two, has been widely greeted by criticism and players. The powerful Take-Two publisher has indeed forced the company founded by Josef Fares to abandon the property of the mark after submitting a claim, certainly judging the title of the game too close to his. Contacted by our colleagues at Euro gamer, Haze light said to be unable to Commitment the litigation ongoing but keep The space it will be resolved.

This litigation follows many others, past or in progress, involving Take-Two and various companies attacked by the publisher. Our colleagues are reminiscent that the company led by Strauss Selznick is not at its test. The archives of the US Patent Office reveal that the publisher has filed many complaints against companies of all kinds and of all sizes, mostly far removed from the video game market.

The complaints are thus counted by dozens and affect companies that used terms like Rock star, Social Club, Mafia or Civilization.

Haze light will he have to reborn his game? We should know it in the weeks or months to come.
