I'm disappointed by not surprised, given that IKEA would win simply by out spending him.
In cases like this is there the equivalent of a public defender to prevent large corporations winning by default?
- frosted-flakes 4y agoWhy are you disappointed? This seems like a pretty clear-cut case for IKEA, in my opinion.
- soulofmischief 4y agoYou'd have to convince me that this doesn't fall under fair use given the lack of trademark use.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoFunnily enough I thought it was a pretty clear-cut case for the game, as a parody of the Ikea shopping experience. The trademarks that the game is allegedly infringing on (the colors blue and yellow on signs with Scandinavian words) are the same sorts of things you'd see in a Grand Theft Auto game (eg the Swedish furniture store Krapea). IMO the game isn't going to be confused with an actual Ikea product by a reasonable person.
