Blizzard settles Overwatch trademark suit

According to a recent legal filing, Blizzard is finalizing a settlement with app developer Innovis Labs, which registered the Overwatch trademark in 2013 a year before Blizzard announced its venture into the first-person shooter genre. Innovis’ Overwatch is an app that “enhances airsoft, paintball, and first-person shooter gameplay” by adding radar, perks, and several other features through the players' smartphones. The terms of the upcoming settlement have not been released, but according to Stephen McArthur, an attorney in the video game industry who has been following the case, Blizzard stands to receive complete legal rights to the Overwatch name. ----- Source: Polygon Image: GameFront
