The Edge of Reason? - iPhone game developer's trademark battle

Tim Langdell is well-known for being a total dick about the use of the word "Edge" in games. He's also on the board of the Independent Game Developers Association. There's a recall effort afoot as a result of his pigheadedness: <a href="http://corvus.zakelro.com/2009/07/its-fun-to-stay-at-the-igda/" rel="nofollow">http://corvus.zakelro.com/2009/07/its-fun-to-stay-at-the-igd...</a>

What about the game Mirror's edge? No, wait, that's published by a large company with a legal department. Not easy target there.

TIGSource has been tracking Langdell and Edge Games for a while now: <a href="http://www.tigsource.com/pages/edge-games" rel="nofollow">http://www.tigsource.com/pages/edge-games</a><p>The guy sounds like scum.

This is a good lesson as to why it's a good idea to spend a little time doing some quick trademark searches on uspto.gov
