Sony Sued for Trivia Series Trademark Violation

Jan 29, 2008 4:53pm CST tags: Industry News: Console, Sony
Buzztime Entertainment has filed suit against Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for an alleged trademark infringement by Relentless Software's trivia series Buzz! (PS2), GameSpot reports.

The suit filed by Carlsbad, California-based Buzztime Entertainment alleges that the Buzz! series violates several trademarks established for their own products, including electronic trivia games for bars and restaurants and quiz services for mobile phones and cable and satellite services.

Buzztime claims that SCEE's filing for trademark of "Buzz!" is a "malicious, fraudulent, knowing, willful, and deliberate" violation of its trademarks, which include "Buzztime," "Buzzhead," "Share the Buzz" and "Buzzkids." SCEE's filing of the Buzz! mark is not yet officially registered.
