SuperTaz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-21/cumberland-apple-novalogic-activision-intellectual-property.html?cmpid=yhoo NovaLogic Spars With Activision Over Use of ‘Delta Force’ Marks NovaLogic Inc., the publisher of the “Delta Force” series of military-themed video games, sued Activision Blizzard Inc. for trademark infringement. The complaint, filed in federal court in Los Angeles, claims Activision allegedly infringed the “Delta Force” marks by incorporating a “Delta Force” division into its “Call of Duty” game. Calabasas, California-based NovaLogic said there is no actual “Delta Force” unit in the U.S. military, and that the public became aware of the term only through the video game. The U.S. Army “denied that any unit called Delta Force exists and does not claim ownership to either the Delta Force name of logo,” the company said in its pleadings. Activision is also accused of incorporating a design mark into its games that is “nearly identical” to the Delta Force marks used by NovaLogic. Activision, of Santa Monica, California, didn’t respond to an e-mailed request for comment. NovaLogic also named Voyetra Turtle Beach Inc., Penguin Group and Microsoft Corp. as defendants, saying all are licensees of Activision. NovaLogic asked the court to halt further infringement of its marks and for awards of money damages, litigation costs and attorney fees. The case is NovaLogic Inc. v. Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI), 2:12-cv-04011-JFW-SH, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxus187 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So the "Delta Force" movies (from the 80s) never existed before NovaLogic came out with its games. Maybe they need to sue Chuck Norris as well then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttscratcher Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Maybe they need to sue Chuck Norris as well then. Never happen. That would be like filing suit against most interesting man in the world Chuck would beat them silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOS_LEgiONary Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) sTAY tHIRSTY, mY fRIENDS WTF??? Then I will die from thirst and Mr Chuck Norris will beat me up for being weak. I allways belived it was these guys, and they have actually lost some operatives over the years, during Operation Eagle Claw in 1980 all 64 Delta managed to escape and survive a burning C-130 while the Marine Corps and the US Airforce lost 8 men, on the opposite, in Somalia during Operation Gothic Serpent 5(+1) Delta's gave their lifes in combat. 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_force Edited May 22, 2012 by GOS_LEgiONary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxus187 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You should know better trhen to believe anything you read in wikipedia.... Calabasas, California-based NovaLogic said there is no actual “Delta Force” unit in the U.S. military, and that the public became aware of the term only through the video game. The U.S. Army “denied that any unit called Delta Force exists and does not claim ownership to either the Delta Force name of logo,” the company said in its pleadings. Instead you should have more faith in the ramblings of people who have something to gain and just ignore History or facts...even though any Spec Ops buff worth thier salt knows that Delta Force is based out of Fort Bragg in North Carolina,regardless of what the Army says.
