Interesting name, there is already a game with the exact same one released in 1997 from Maxis [now EA]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Drop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Drop . Good luck.
- winslow 12y agoI would think that EA would probably exercise their copyright and any trademarks they have on the Marble Drop name. Anyone have possible insight to this?
- daiidgo 12y agoCongrats on the game guys, it's pretty cool. The federal registration on the Marble Drop name was dropped by Maxis back in 2004 (do a Tess2 search on the uspto.gov website). That doesn't mean that they've abandoned all rights to use the name for a mobile game... before you panic and change the name, or just shrug and ignore the coincidence, I would say go talk to a Trademark attorney. I'm sure you can find plenty of them up around MIT (most firms that do patent work will have one or two trademark guys). If you're going to continue to grow with your game, it'll be well worth the money.
- Grue3 12y agoYeah, the first thing I thought when I saw the title was: hey, that's already a game! Kids these days don't respect the classics. shakes fist
