Pete Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Just to confirm who owns what, I checked out the Trademarks on a few names and who owns them. This is what I found. The first one's a no-brainer. Atari still hold the license to X-COM so this one's expected. Similarly, they own the similar trademarks to "X-COM UFO Defense", "X-COM Interceptor" and "X-COM Alliance". Not quite sure where terror from the Deep is... weird that I couldn't find it!Word Mark X-COMGoods and Services IC 028. US 022 023 038 050.

Pete Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 I think I went to google and typed in trademark or copyright. I think it was the US copyright office or soemthing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 How would one go about buying the rights to X-COM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 You'd need a good deal of money and then contact Atari. Simple as that if they wish to sell. Doubt they will however. We'll contact them with some proposals for showing the fan interest out there soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I doubt they'd show much attention to anyone with less then 50K. I could simply be grossly ignorant. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 It's a shame we don't actually have as many members as the member count says we do, otherwise we could quite easily afford the rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
