Daybreak sues THJ

[shovelquest]

Yeah I have no clue who will win but I have a feeling daybreak games is literally as inept at law as they are at game development.

they got new assets for the expanisons, they pay someone on www.fiverr.com 20bucks for each expansion i'm pretty sure.

Regardless of what anyone thinks, anybody other than DBG who uses EQ IP is legally not allowed to unless they gave them permission like they have P1999. Just like Samsung cannot start making iphones. It is pretty cut any dry and any court worth a damn will side with DBG.

I'm not even sure why DBG needs to explain itself any further than "THJ is using our assets without our permission".

Well, I am not sure they would be able to get it , but at the least they can get the server shut down.

Equitable estoppel

This common-law doctrine prevents a party from asserting a claim if their previous conduct or statements led another party to believe a certain outcome, and that party relied on it to their detriment.
In patent law, it may prevent a patent owner from enforcing their patent against an infringer if they previously misled the infringer into believing they would not enforce their rights.

In trademark law, equitable estoppel (also called acquiescence) can be a defense to infringement. It applies if the trademark owner's past conduct or inaction indicated approval of the defendant's use of the mark, and the defendant relied on that apparent approval.

you can use that as a defense against damages but not to continue operating the server
