Earlier it was said that Ubisoft filed to abandon the Watch Dogs trademark, according to the trademark's listing on the United States Patent and Trademark Office website, but that doesn't mean that the game is dead.
But a new filing submitted today with the United States Patent and Trademark Office is petitioning the director of the office to prevent the abandonment, saying the original request was fraudulent.
"On February 1, 2014, Ubisoft Entertainment received an email fromTEAS@uspto.gov notifying Ubisoft Entertainment that a Request for Express Abandonment had been filed in connection with Application Serial No. 85642398," according to the filing. "The Request for Express Abandonment purports to be signed by the Chief Executive Officer of Ubisoft Entertainment, Yves Guillemot.
"Mr. Guillemot, however, did not sign the Request for Express Abandonment, nor did Ubisoft Entertainment file the Request for Express Abandonment. The Request for Express Abandonment is fraudulent and was not filed by Ubisoft Entertainment or its representative."
The petition is requesting that the director of the Patent and Trademark Office revive Ubisoft's trademark for Watch Dogs "promptly." Here we collect posts, jokes, pictures about Watch Dogs (+34 posts - Watch Dogs)
