Sony Attempts and Fails to Trademark “Let’s Play”

[AbbathTheGrim]

They tried but possibility of confusion may have stopped their effort:

The filing, which was filed in October last year, surfaced a few days ago through a NeoGAF member, and has since been denied by the USPTO on grounds of “likelihood of confusion,” due to a similar mark already being trademarked. Thanks to a trademarked service LP Let’z Play, Sony was denied.

- apparently Sony still can try something, if there is something to try:

Sony now has six months from the decision’s issue date, which was December 29, to address the refusal, providing “evidence as to why the refusal should be withdrawn.”

So yeah, if it weren't for the existing patent, Sony could have scored this one.
