Respectfully submitted, /Mark S Palmer/ Mark S Palmer [email protected], [email protected] [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 08/07/2018 IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD STARDOCK SYSTEMS, INC, Opposition No. 91242194 Opposer, Serial No. 87633531 Mark: GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS PAUL REICHE, FRED FORD, Publication Date: March 6, 2018 Applicants. MOTION TO SUSPEND PROCEEDING WITH CONSENT PAUL REICHE and FRED FORD (“Reiche and Ford”) hereby move to suspend this proceeding until the final determination of Stardock Systems, Inc. v. Reiche, et al., Case No. 17- cv-07025-SBA (“Civil Action”), because the Civil Action will have a bearing on the instant proceeding. Reiche and Ford obtained Opposer Stardock Systems, Inc.’s (“Stardock”) consent to suspend the proceeding by communication with Opposer's counsel on August 1, 2018. On October 4, 2017, Reiche and Ford filed a federal trademark application to register the mark GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS (Serial No. 87633531), and it was published for opposition on March 6, 2018. On April 16, 2018, Reiche and Ford also filed a federal trademark application to register the mark PRECURSORS (Serial No. 87879067). On July 3, 2018, Stardock opposed Reiche and Ford’s application, claiming that Stardock acquired and used the PRECURSORS mark, and that Reiche and Ford’s GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS mark should be refused for likelihood of confusion with Stardock’s claimed PRECURSORS mark. 1 2635.000/1312235.4 On July 16, 2018 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California: a) Stardock filed a Second Amended Complaint against Applicants (see Ex. A attached hereto) for trademark infringement, alleging that Reiche and Ford’s GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS mark is confusingly similar to Stardock’s purported marks and seeking to enjoin Reiche and Ford from using their GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS mark, among other things (see p. 39); and b) Reiche and Ford filed an Amended Counterclaim against Stardock (see Ex. B attached hereto) for declaratory judgment re: trademark rights, alleging that Stardock falsely claims to have acquired and used the purported PRECURSORS mark, that Reiche and Ford’s GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS mark is not confusingly similar to Stardock’s purported PRECURSORS mark, and seeking a declaratory judgment that Reiche and Ford are therefore entitled to registration of the GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS mark and an injunction compelling Stardock to withdraw and abandon the present opposition (see pp. 27-28, 33-35). When parties to a case pending before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“TTAB”) are engaged in a civil action that may have a bearing on the case, the TTAB may suspend the proceeding until termination of the civil action. 37 C.F.R. § 2.117(a); TBMP § 510.02(a). The TTAB has explained that “while a decision by the District Court would be binding upon the Patent Office, a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board would only be advisory in respect to the disposition of the case pending in the District Court. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the fact that the Patent Office proceeding was the first to be filed, it is deemed to 2 2635.000/1312235.4 be the better policy to suspend proceedings herein until the civil suit has been finally concluded.” Tokaido v. Honda Associates Inc., 179 USPQ 861, 862 (TTAB 1973). Reiche and Ford and Stardock are all parties to the Civil Action currently pending in the Northern District of California. The Civil Action involves (in part) essentially the same issues raised in the instant proceeding, namely whether Stardock acquired and owns the purported PRECURSORS mark and whether Reiche and Ford’s GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS mark is confusingly similar. The determination of these issues by the District Court will likely affect the issues involved in this proceeding. For the foregoing reasons, Reiche and Ford respectfully request suspension of this proceeding pending final determination of the Civil Action. DATED: August 7, 2018 Respectfully submitted, MARK S.

  • Mario's Legacy and Sonic's Heritage: Replays and Refunds of Console Gaming History
    Mario’s legacy and Sonic’s heritage: Replays and refunds of console gaming history Jaakko Suominen University of Turku / Digital Culture P.O. Box 124 28101 Pori +35823338100 jaakko.suominen at utu.fi ABSTRACT In this paper, I study how three major videogame device manufacturers, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo use gaming history within their popular console products, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PS 3 and Nintendo Wii. These enterprises do not only market new game applications and devices but also recycle classic game themes, game characters as well as classic games themselves. Therefore, these corporations are a part of the phenomenon which can be called retrogaming culture or digital retro economy. The paper introduces the different ways in which the corporations began to use history and how they constructed their digital game market strategies to be compatible with the current retrogaming trend. In addition, the paper introduces a model for different phases of uses of history. The paper is empirically based on literary reviews, recreational computing magazine articles, company websites and other online sources and participatory observation of retrogaming applications and product analyses. Sociological and cultural studies on nostalgia as well as history culture form the theoretical framework of the study. Keywords retrogaming, classic games, history management, uses of history, consoles INTRODUCTION When a game company utilizes its older products to make a new application, when the same company mentions the year it was established in a job advertisement or when it celebrates a game figure’s 20-year anniversary, the company uses history. The use of history can be a discursive act, which underlines continuity and in so doing, for example, the trustworthiness and stability of the firm.

  • Offworld Trading Company ​V1.21 Brings Updated Language Support
    Offworld Trading Company v1.21 brings updated ​ language support for both base game and DLCs The best selling economic real-time strategy game now have updated translations in Simplified Chinese, Russian, German, and more. Plymouth, MI. – November 1, 2018 - Today, Stardock announced the release of v1.21 for ​ Offworld Trading Company, a game in which players take on the role of entrepreneur and travel ​ ​ ​ to Mars for an economic showdown against rival companies. The version update improves localization for several languages and adds some balance updates that enhance the gameplay experience. In Offworld Trading Company, players buy out the competition and take control of the Martian ​ ​ market in a strategy game where money, not military force, is their greatest weapon. The ​ real-time, player-driven market is the foundation of the game, allowing players to buy and sell resources and materials - even the food and water that the colonists need to survive. Players will also have to deal with some underhanded black market methods of sabotage, like pirate raiders, hackers trying to disrupt production, covert electromagnetic pulses, and more. The game supports online match play with up to 8 players, as well as single player campaigns, skirmishes, or daily challenges. For more serious players, ranked ladder games will give them the opportunity to earn ranks and prove their worth. The v1.21 update adds improved localization in both the base game and all of Offworld Trading ​ Company’s DLC for the following languages: ​ ● Simplified Chinese ● German ● French ● Spanish ● Korean ● Polish ● Russian ● Brazilian Portuguese Offworld Trading Company is $19.99 through Steam or Stardock.

    Page 1 of 15 Case History: Yinjie Soon STS 145, Winter 2002 Page 2 of 15 Yinjie Soon STS145: History of Computer Game Design Final Paper 12 February 2002 Case History Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters In July 1990, the two partners who formed the software company Toys for Bob released their first game, Star Control, under game publisher Accolade for the personal computer system. These two men – Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford – were big fans of science fiction, and in Reiche’s case, fantasy role playing games (especially Dungeons and Dragons). Unsurprisingly, the game had a strong science fiction theme and heavy doses of traditional role-playing elements, wherein the player controlled one of two sides in an effort to either take over the universe as the marauding conquerors of the Ur-Quan Hierarchy, or save the universe as the brave defenders of the Alliance of Free Stars. Star Control effectively interleaved elements of strategy and action; the player tried to outwit the opposing forces in various turn-based inter-planetary strategic scenarios, and subsequently engaged enemy ships in real-time “space melee” one-on-one spaceship dogfights, similar in style to Spacewar, the earliest of video games (Derrenbacker). Many of the sequel’s most interesting elements, such as the unique characteristics of each race’s ships and behaviors, were established in this game and would carry on to Star Control 2. Figures 1a and 1b show some scenes from Star Control, illustrating how advanced some of the graphics from the game were for the time (figure 1a is also an early manifestation of the creators’ sense of humor – the ship shown in the middle of the picture is the flagship of an all-female race of humanoids; the explanation behind the visual is left to the reader’s imagination.).
