[quote who="Prof_Hari_Seldon" reply="70" id="3739460"] Kermamorjens, Stardock has said they started the suit because P&F infringed on Stardock's "Star Control" trademark by claiming Ghosts of the Precursors is the true sequel to Star Control. At the same time as Star Control Origins reached a publicity milestone with the release of the SCO beta at the 25th anniv

[quote who="Kermamorjens" reply="66" id="3739436"] Quoting Bufohominum, reply 52 So what I don't understand is why when you only have the rights to the name Star Control, you all but remade SC2?

Honestly, I think they have something here. It's like if you had the trademark to the name Mickey Mouse but not the copyrights to the design. If your new character has the same silhouette as the famous Disney character they're probably going to take issue. So what I don't understand is why when you only have the rights to the name Star Control, you all but remade SC2? If this hadn't become so acrimonious I imagine they wouldn't have decided to exercise (what they believe to be) their
