Buzztime Entertainment has filed charges against Sony for copyright infringement. They claim that Sony Europe’s line of Buzz! trivia games have infringed upon several of their trademarks and are calling for the destruction of all products doing so.
In case you have not previously heard of Buzztime, Buzztime is a developer of several trivia-based games most commonly found in bars and restaurants. These games service approximately 13 million people world wide every month. In addition to bars and restaurants, Buzztime also makes games for cell phones, cable and satellite quiz services, as well as home versions of games that can be connected to your TV.
Official claims from Buzztime say that Sony is selling similar products with the intention of cashing in on the established Buzztime name and brand, even though Buzztime has not officially trademarked the word ’buzz’ in conjunction with trivia games.
As of November 2007, Buzz! trivia for the Playstation 2 had sold more than 4 million copies in Europe and the game was later released in the US late 2007.
More information to come as it is released.
