Cryptic's Retort to Marvel

Posted by Zonk on from the tttttthhhhhhhpppppppp! dept.

Voodoo Extreme has a short blurb with links to the players in the Marvel vs. Cryptic legal battle. The short response from Cryptic says it all: "As reported by The Associated Press, Marvel Enterprises Inc. and Marvel Characters, Inc. have sued NCsoft Corporation and Cryptic Studios. The complaint is meritless. Cryptic Studios is confident that the District Court will reject all of Marvel's claims and fully vindicate Cryptic Studios in all respects."

    Cryptic has for the longest time been renaming characters that infringe on TMed comic book characters (at least Marvel named. Hence why you see Unamed Hero running around sometimes. These are characters that have been renamed). So you can say that Cryptic is doing something about not infringing on trademarks and copyrights.
