14 DAY TRIAL // It looks like Sony wants to make sure that it continues to own the Resistance trademark for future games. The Japanese company filed for the said trademark in Europe on January 26, but it’s a bit early to make any assumptions yet.
As NeoGAF forum member Rösti points out, the original trademark for Resistance: Fall of Man will expire on March 8, 2016, so there was still time to renew it, but Sony decided to do it this year.
The application is for “computer game software, computer software for video games of for games machines; video games; electronic devices for the wireless receipt, storage and/or transmission of data and messages, sound and/or video recordings featuring music, entertainment and/or games.”
This could mean anything ranging from a new game, a reboot of an older Resistance game, or just protection for a popular franchise.
The application is under examination and is likely to be approved in the following days. We have no other details on any upcoming Resistance games that Sony might have in the works, so this will remain an unsolved mystery until further info.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for any word on the Resistance franchise, so stay tuned for more on this one.
