This is a good lesson as to why it's a good idea to spend a little time doing some quick trademark searches on uspto.gov
The lesson is that it should not be possible to trademark dictionary words. Or maybe the lesson is that someone should trademark "The" and then proceed to haul in settlement profits?
What about the game Mirror's edge? No, wait, that's published by a large company with a legal department. Not easy target there.
Oh, I have been assured by my sources that there are legal proceedings in the works over that as well.
Seriously?
Seriously. You know, Edge Games also got themselves attached to the Mamet movie The Edge and the Marvel Comic The Edge.
