Roman GłogulskiControversy Arises as Remedy Entertainment Changes Logo
Remedy Entertainment, known for game series such as Max Payne and Alan Wake, has decided to change its logo. This decision has faced dissatisfaction from Take-Two Interactive, the publisher that owns Rockstar Games, known for the Grand Theft Auto series. The dispute between these two parties revolves around the similarity between Remedy’s new logo and the Rockstar Games logo, which the publisher considers misleading to the public.
Remedy Entertainment officially announced the logo change in April 2023 and filed for the registration of the new trademark in various intellectual property offices, such as the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), the Intellectual Property Office in the UK (UK IPO), and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). However, Take-Two Interactive has taken steps to protest against this application, arguing that Remedy’s logo is too similar to their own.
Both parties have been collaborating intensively for years, and it is likely that the dispute will be resolved amicably. Despite the minimalist nature of Remedy’s new logo, there are undeniable similarities to the Rockstar Games logo. In essence, this serves as a warning to other producers to avoid similar controversies, rather than a fight between the two companies.
It is important to note that the change in Remedy’s logo has been extended until 2025, allowing extra time for the dispute to be resolved. Currently, many technology portals in Poland are speculating about this matter, but there is no evidence to suggest that both companies intend to engage in a fierce battle.
