I did a quick search if the USPTO database and the name Lugaru isn't trademarked yet. So iCoder may have a case. Best defense might be to complain that the GPL is incompatible like the VLC coder did.
- tibbon 16y agoRight, the GPL is not compatible with the App store as you are hindered in your redistribution of the application. Additionally, it seems that iCoder (intentionally or unintentionally) doesn't have his code out there anywhere and has yet to respond to #2 requests for the code.
- bena 16y agoThat's not the end-all, be-all of trademark law though. If Wolfire had a registered trademark, it would make things easier for them. But, they have been conducting trade using the Lugaru mark so they have an implicit trademark on the term Lugaru as it applies to video games. It's the difference between the TM symbol and the R with a circle around it. Wolfire can still hit them up with some trademark violation lawsuits and should probably do so soon to avoid problems down the line.
