When it comes down to it, it is a matter of whether or not the consumer is likely to be confused by the usage. King's statement seems to say that it is the combination of the usage of the 'Saga' suffix and a similar game mech

Presumably there are legitimate concerns from the company relating to liability over third party use of the software. There may also be issues over third party commercialisation. Firstly, what was the licence if any attached to the software

It would certainly be open to the user to argue before a court that as the plain English version was more easily understood and avoided obscure legal terms, then that is the version that is enforceable against them. This is particularly the

No one ever sues over an NDA. The point of an NDA is to set up an expectation of confidentiality. It's easier than having the conversation that you expect the discussions to go no further which leaves the possibility of ambiguity. Abso

I agree that there is a risk that all uses will be pursued and as you allude to, potential damage to a brand is in the eye of the beholder. However you're making a leap from a use which could conceivably harm the distinctiveness of a m

It is absolutely untrue that you risk losing a mark if you do not enforce it widely. There is an obligation to enforce against third party uses which would undermine the distinctiveness of the mark/confuse the public, however not every

I agree however looking forwards the brand could grow sufficiently large to gain this enhanced protection. I think even if this did happen Apple would be unlikely to enforce overly harshly but their stance on the App Store mark goes some wa

It sounds like you should be proud. From a risk perspective, I can't say that simply removing the links removes all risk, it only reduces the risk. Anyone reading the account and knowing the guy in question may be able to identify that
