If author is here you should remove any mentions of "ch00se your 0wn adventure" and also it's 4 letter acronym. The trademark owner goes very aggressively after it. Use user generated adventures or something similar.
- canadiantim 2y agoWho owns the trademark for choose your own adventure? Seems like something that shouldn’t be trademarkable
- 3036e4 2y agoWhy not? It is a specific brand of gamebooks, like Fighting Fantasy or Lone Wolf or Fabled Lands.
- gs17 2y agoIt looks like "Chooseco" owns it. Unfortunately, the best bet at having it thrown out was their lawsuit against Netflix, but Netflix chose to settle. > Seems like something that shouldn’t be trademarkable It's not copyrightable, but it's exactly the kind of thing that would be trademarkable. It's just that it's definitely genericized at this point. I'm not sure many people associate it with a brand rather than a genre.
