Never forget the time Bethesda went after Notch for the word “scroll” being used for another one of Notch’s games.
49ReplyRemember when King tried to trademark the word Candy?

Bullshit lawsuit. The two R logos are quite distinctive. Rockstar has their iconic star and Remedy's R is whatever it is.

Not surprising given Take-Two's history when it comes to trademark disputes. I'm pretty sure they went after the developers of It Takes Two because of the name, plus any random business that has Rockstar in the name.
