Die Fugger’s Legal Wranglings
This story is from the German game news website Spielbox and translated by Patrick Korner:
| Adlung Verlag got an unwelcome fax last December. An Augsburg lawyer’s office notified them that their game Die Fugger, released at Essen in 2003, used the name ‘Fugger’ without permission. Thankfully, an out of court settlement could be reached with the parties who own the rights to the name, but with the net effect is that this Klaus Jurgen Wrede game will no longer be available. A new edition under a different name is not currently planned.” |

This is a great little game, and worth obtaining before it’s no longer available. Posted by Doug Garrett on Mar 8, 2006 at 08:26 AM | #

I’m surprised the name of a historical character can be trademarked! What about using it in history books? Posted by bruno faidutti on Mar 8, 2006 at 01:02 PM | #
