Langdell was in dispute with EA, Future Publishing, and more
It’s taken a few years butTim Langdell’sspurious copyright claims on the word “Edge” have finally ended.Eurogamer reportsthat a judge in California has passed a Consolidated Cancellation put forward by EA that will cancel a number of Landgell’s copyrights.
Langdell had been in dispute with EA over its 2008 titleMirror’s Edge, Future Publishing for itsEDGEpublication, and Mobigame’s iOS and PC titleEdge. Langdell hasresponded to the cancelation, claiming the decision is “defective” in numerous ways and has asked the cancellation be “made void.”
It would be great to see this matter finally come to a close. Sure, it’s hard to root for EA sometimes, but Langdell’s exploitation of the copyright system is appalling. His constant efforts to suppress titles that he believed were infringing on his copyrights was bully at its worst. I did wonder whyEDGEwas 50% off on Steam over the weekend — I’m going to assume the guys at Mobigames were in a celebratory mood.
