Ubisoft trademarks name ASSASSIN, we got nothing photo

And that's what I've got. ASSASSIN. No "Creed." No nothing else. Just the word ASSASSIN. The relatively new trademark was filed on October 15th, signed off by Ubi CEO Yves Guillemot himself. Here's your block of informative info on the mark:

Entertainment services namely providing an on-line computer game for others over global and local area computer networks and providing information on-line relating to computer games, video games and computer and video games related products; entertainment services namely television action series and the production of motion pictures.

So, yeah. There's that. Those that jump to conclusions would say that there is a multiplayer Assassin's Creed game coming, and that a TV series and movie are to follow. Me? I'm saying nothing. I'm just telling you that ASSASSIN was tradmarked by Ubisoft. Do what you will with that.

The good: this would never stand up in court.

The bad: indie developers who can't afford a long court battle could get screwed by this.

NOOO. This is pathetic. Why do people feel the need to trademark individual words from the English language. THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED! THEY ARE STEALING OUR LANGUAGE!

Of course, it seems they did put ASSASSIN in all caps, so I guess that means... I don't know what it means. They are still d-bags for filing for a trademark on a single word.
