Sheeptag rights?
« on: March 21, 2017, 05:48:57 am »
Hello, I was curious on who has the sheep tag rights? Does Blizzard own the game concept of how the game is played and made via Copyright? If someone made a remake like the last post and made money off it could he get sued?

There have been numerous games that started on Warcraft 3 as a custom mod, and then branched to their own standalone

Biggest Examples:
Dota 2: http://store.steampowered.com/app/570/
Legion TD 2: http://beta.legiontd2.com/

Now Blizzard did sue Dota 2 ages ago over the name 'Dota' saying it was associated with the Blizzard brand, but Blizzard lost the case: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Blizzard-Valve-Settle-DOTA-Lawsuit-42430.html

In short so long as you are not using or blatantly ripping Blizzard assets you should be in the clear, as Blizzard can not own a genre.
