I wonder how Sony got to use the "Little Big" as part of the title. wouldn't Adeline still hold the IP on the name?

 

 

Why would they hold they IP of Little big? It's like saying Dead or alive holds the Ip of dead...That makes no sense, since there's a game called Dead rising.

 

but surely Little Big used together is not as common a phrase as Dead?

What if someone made a game called "The Elder Pots: Gardening" or "Leisure Suit Racing"?

Surely there's some degree of infringement here

There's no violation here. The title of the game was changed. One word makes a difference.

 

 

 

 This. Did you know that PlayStation was originally suppose to be called Play Station? Unfortunately, a copyright of the name "Play Station" was already held so Sony simply combined the words to work around it.
