Company News Brian Fargo says Van Buren and Meantime trademarks aren't related to inXile's next game

[Dorateen]

I would be interested in Fargo's take on traditional fantasy. Wasteland 2 proved the folks at inXile are not afraid of party-based or turn-based. So that was always promising.

 

[Darkzone]

They had also one expired from Australia before. Electronic Arts have it registred in Philiphines and Switzerland if you want to know. This shit is not for minds of mare sane and rational mortals.

Fixed it.
Easy it is not, young Padawan. Guilty Trademark in one country, is not always everywhere guilty. It depends where it is guilty. USA is in Madrid Protocols therefore everything trademarked in USA is also trademarked in other countries. But not a lawyer i am.

Oh for Frith's sake, you dweebs, here.

Read here on Madrid Protocol and CTM if you're curious!

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Wouldn't it make more sense to just develop Wasteland 3? You know, in the same manner that Fallout 2, Gothic 2 , Kotor 2 or Baldur's Gate 2 were made. It would be a waste of pipelines to not make it, especially after quite a warm reception. InXile could grow stronger faster if it decides to take this step.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Fargo isn't a slam-dunker, though.

Ah, that beautiful Eurolanguage:

13.3. What is the role of OHIM?

Since the OHIM is the regional Office of the EU for the purposes of registering marks with effect across the whole of the European Union (EU), it is the point of contact for WIPO in all international application proceedings based on a CTM or designating the EC. The OHIM can act either as Office of Origin if an international application is based on a CTM or as Designated Office if the EU has been designated in an international application originating elsewhere. The OHIM's role in the international system is similar to the role played by national offices.

I think the recent success of games like MMX:L and LoGII

Do you have a source to support your claim that MMXL was a success? My impression is that it wasn't, at least not a financial one.

No. I'm just going by the fact that it was mostly well-received, no studios were shuttered after its release ( ) and, due to the low cost of making it, they probably had no trouble getting their money back.

 

[Infinitron]

MMXL may have been a success for an indie or a smaller developer. Ubisoft clearly didn't think it made enough, however.

BTW, it's not clear how well LoGII has done, either.

Fargo is on Twitter, talking about The Bard's Tale.
