Point is, the clone existed before Wordle was acquired and had never been a problem before.
- dymk 5y agoNot sure what weight that point is supposed to carry. It was a ripoff of the IP before the sale, and it was a ripoff of the IP after the sale, and the owner (whoever it is at whatever point) can send a cease and desist.
- ipaddr 5y agoIt becomes fair use because the ip owner did not enforce copyrights before.
- dragonwriter 5y agoThat's not how copyright, or specifically copyright fair use, works.
- ipaddr 5y agoTrademarks can be lost by not enforcing rights. Wordle is a trademarked name. The game play is not under copyright. Only the art is under copyright and extract words in some order to some extent
- tedunangst 5y agoAnd lookie here, the owner is enforcing their rights.
- ipaddr 5y agoAnyone can bring a case for any reason. Let's see how this plays out.
