''Edge Games'' is a video game developer and publisher headquartered in Pasadena, California, known for the practices of its chief executive and founder, Tim Langdell, in enforcing trademarks relating to the word "edge", which sources have described as "litigious". Langdell has defended these practices citing that Edge has only sued two companies since the late 1980s. In 2010, Edge Games sued Electronic Arts for trademark infringement, but eventually settled, with Edge surrendering many of its registrations.〔http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/ttabvue-92051465-CAN-32.pdf〕 The US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) cancelled the trademarks by court order in April 2013.〔http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92051465&pty=CAN&eno=100〕 ==History== Edge Games was founded in California in 1990 by Tim Langdell. At that time, it acquired the intellectual property assets of Langdell's former company, Softek Software, itself founded in 1980 in London, England.〔http://smtp1.patent.gov.uk/types/tm/t-os/t-find/t-challenge-decision-results/o37299.pdf〕 Softek's catalog includes several games, including: ''Fairlight'', released in 1985, and ''Garfield: Big Fat Hairy Deal'', released in 1987. Since the 1989 release of ''Snoopy and Peanuts'' Edge Games have released nine games in the last 25 years. The Edge website stated that two other multi-platform titles: ''Mirrors'', and ''Mythora 2'' are "coming soon", as are the PlayStation 3 and other platform versions of ''Racers''. The website also states that they are porting some of their Commodore 64 games to WiiWare. As of 2015, none of these titles have been released. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edge Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
