A list of all Microsoft Trademarks
- indrora 16y agoThis is vaguely scary. There's even some /standard words/ in there: Exhibition® Expression® Now, I realize that most (if not all) trademarks are only valid for a particular context, but some of these trademarks are just strange, such as "JScript®" Others i didn't know MS had aquired: Rare® (Rare logo)® my USD$0.02
- matthew-wegner 16y agoMicrosoft bought Rare awhile ago: "In September 2002, the Stamper brothers sold their 51% interest in Rare to Microsoft; following this, Nintendo sold their 49% stake in the company as well. Microsoft paid a total of $375 million to own 100% of the company." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_(company) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_(company) They actually released some games for Nintendo platforms after the acquisition, which must have made for some interesting negotiations.
- thristian 16y agoIt amuses me that "ULTIMATE PLAY THE GAME" is still a carefully-shepherded trademark; that's what Rare was called back in the 80s when they got their start making games for 8-bit home computers.
