Square Enix has trademarked "Square Soft" and "Enix" in Japan

SOURCE: Kotaku.com

Square Enix has trademarked "Square Soft" and "Enix" in Japan. It's unclear if this is to prevent other companies from using them (highly likely!) or if Square Enix will use them for branding (perhaps!).

Why the heck would they need it for marketing purposes? I barely remember when they were seperate companies.

Bet with Xander XT:

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

There can't be a reason for marketing that I can think of. The only thing this says is a split but we know that's not gonna happen. This is strange.

It's standard business procedure to prevent potential competition from using your old name.

There are many reasons to do this, no reason not to.
