i don't know much about trademarks or anything for that matter, but i guess it can be bought and registered again?

BLOCKLAND IS DEAD

[ahoy]

is this good or bad

[Verification]

if someone buys this, badspot can probably sue
just saying

wouldn't that be his fault for not renewing it though?

actually im not sure

[mod-man]

i will buy this so damn fast once i understand trademarks and i know badspot wont sue me

thing is you can buy it but it doesnt mean that you can just use the name - the game is still under copyright. iirc owning the trademark doesnt mean that much unless the company/product it was used for is also dead as wel

i don't want to use it for anything. i just want to own a piece of blockland

[The Resonte!]

if badspot stopped selling the game then you could use it for another game
but otherwise, it would be in your best interests to not use it for anything that could cause any confusion

[Anthony Fuckstick]

i'd buy it and sell it back to badspot with interest

lets pool our money together and get it for gsf ghost's game
