Renewal for MIA sports franchise
Over the course of last week, fans of EA’s seemingly-forgotten seriesSkatewere feeling a little blue, as reports filtered through the internet that the publisher had legally abandoned the trademark, essentially cancelling the series itself for good.
Butfurther digging by All Gamershas unearthed that rather than straight abandonment, EA actuallyrenewedtheSkatelicence afresh back on June 24,preserving the company’s hold on the IP for a further 10 years. This licence, of course, also pertains to all previous titles and and any possible re-releases or remakes, so although the trademark has been refreshed, it’s unfortunately no confirmation of the requestedSkate 4.
So whileSkatehas officially will not be sent spinning into the oblivion of expired trademarks anytime soon, there still might be some work to do to convince EA fans are still raring for another go on the half-pipe. Keep the faith you Pepsi Max lovers.
