Sony tried to trademark 'Let's Play'
Quote:
This past October, the company applied for a trademark on the phrase, which it defines as "electronic transmission and streaming of video games via global and local computer networks; streaming of audio, visual, and audiovisual material via global and local computer networks."

Ah corporate greed. I can just imagine what a fucking legal shitstorm that would have been if it had been granted (or is in the future, assuming they continue to pursue it).

But that's good news then (the fact that they didn't get the trademark). Something is working at least.

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Wrong forum.


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

They can trademark any phrase they want so long as they describe the use of it. This doesn't stop ANYONE from trademarking "Let's Play" for themselves, you just can't infringe on the way SONY is using it.

TLDR: Much ado about nothing.

Imagine all these "poor" youtubers who would have seen their video retired due to law infringements.
