Malhavoc Press is releasing a new variant Players Handbook for D&D, and had to change the name from “Iron Lore” to “Iron Heroes”:
The new rulebook’s title became an issue when, one month ago, software developer Iron Lore Entertainment demanded that Malhavoc Press and its publishing partner, White Wolf Publishing, cease using the name “Iron Lore.†While the software company did not hold a trademark on “Iron Lore,†it had applied for ownership of the trademark “Iron Lore Entertainment.†In a letter from its legal representatives, the software company claimed that Malhavoc’s use of the title would confuse consumers.“While I don’t agree with these assertions, I’m not willing to engage in a prolonged legal battle over the title,†Monte said. “Fans have been waiting months for this new book. A lawsuit would only mean many more months of waiting.â€
We have been waiting for this? News to me.
Does anyone buy anything from White Wolf or its (superior) subsidiary companies anymore?
