TimeGate Settles With Paramount
Shacknews reports that developer TimeGate has settled the lawsuit against Paramount over the use of Section 8.
TimeGate is currently working on a game titled Section 8, and they allege that Paramount infringed on its trademark with an “interactive web series” using the same name.
The suit was dismissed after Paramount agreed not to use the title for its web series. TimeGate had also taken ABC to court over the same infringement a while back.
Section 8 is currently in development for PC and consoles for release later this year.
TimeGate Sues Paramount Over Section 8
According to Team Xbox, Kohan developer TimeGate has filed suit against Paramount Digital Entertainment and Paramount Pictures over the title of its upcoming game Section 8.
The studio alleges that Paramount illegally used the game’s name for an “interactive web series.” They also point out that Paramount announced the web series just three days after cancelling a meeting to play the studio’s game.
Similar legal action was taken by the studio last year after ABC had used the name Section 8 for an upcoming sci-fi drama. TimeGate won, with ABC agreeing to change the name.
Section 8 is due out for release on PC and Xbox 360 later this year.
