that Sega couldn't provide information that they are using the Shenmue name for anything usefull... for example that they are working on Shenmue 3 so they could have kept the trademark... |
A trade mark is different then a copyright. The trade mark in this case is probally the Title they use on the box art. It doesn't mean much just that they don't intend to re-release the title anytime soon. It would be different if they allowed the copyright to expire.
