Say goodbye to lets plays forever.

dafuq is up with company's trademarking common words first candy now this, when did japs become such jews?
>>323485519
You must really hate Youtube, huh
>>323485519
They wont win, like many other jewish fucks that have tried to trademark things like this it will be over ruled.

Apple tried to trademark the letter "i".
Lel, those kikes won't get the trademark.

Hello, underage.
>>323485519
How? Let's Play was provably coined by some random fuck on SomethingAwful or whatever. EbaumsWorld. Some now-irrelevant deal.
Can companies just trademark random words now?
>>323485519
>Say goodbye to lets plays forever.
I wish this were the case.
How the hell can copywriting commonly used words be legal?
I mean, we all know that the end result is either enabling one company to be able to sue anyone who has used the word before them and to prevent other people from using it anymore.
Should I make a company callled "The", and then copywriter the name? So any game with the word The in it now owes me money?

That King company, Candy Crush maker, tried trademarking Candy, it was shot down
Then again, Sony does have "Live in you world, play in ours"
Maybe it's needs to be certain length
Is Happy Meal trademarked?
>>323486107
But I don't.
>LPs
>Gone
I don't think so Tim.
those whores dont pay for themselves, /v/
>Say goodbye to lets plays forever
yes pls
>>323486370
>Is Happy Meal trademarked?
yes
very
>>323486365
Because they are copywrighting the term as a "product" not the words. You could copy right "the" (well you could try anyway) but not as a brand, you could as a "product though"
Uncle Scrooge tried to trademark boiling water
doesnt mean it goes through
>>323486107
I'm 28 and watch game grumps and thesw1tcher constantly.
Anyone that thinks this will go through is a fucking idiot, anyone can try to trademark anything.
Lets Play is a generic term and has been well known for well over a decade.
>sony will take all of the heat off nintendo for killing lets plays entirely
thank you based sony
>People start calling it Let us play!
Let's plays are cancerous as fuck, also I have no idea why the fuck people started calling Playtroughs "Let's Plays" since 2012 or so.
The only similar thing I search for on Youtube are walkthroughs, as in, gameplay that is meant to help you or even show you the secret shit in x part of the game, which is recorded by someone who already knows the game inside-out instead of some random guy blindly playing the game for the first time and skipping a lot of shit.
>>323487006
Let is play
>>323487147
Blame Slowbeef
>>323487006
>>323487210
wont be that easy
there are laws of how similar it gets to be
>>323487147
The term "Lets Play" has existed for well over 8 years, pretending it's a recent thing is fucking absurd.
>>323485687
>dafuq
seriously mate, go back to reddit
>>323487006
Lettuce play.
>>323487147
I like how you think that isn't a LP. You're no better than reddit, anon.
>>323486370
>Is Happy Meal trademarked?
Obviously.
No, it's not that it needs to be a certain length.
If McDonalds had tried to trademark "Kid's Meal", it would have failed. Why? Because you can't trademark a description of what your product is. You can't trademark "tissue paper". You can't trademark "microphone". You can't trademark "television". It's why companies keep doing shit like "Band-Aid brand Bandages" - if people keep calling that thing a band-aid, then suddenly their trademark is invalid, since it's become a common-use word for what the product is.
So that's one reason why the Let's Play thing shouldn't go through. "Let's Play" is a common-use phrase to describe that particular type of video. That said, with digital media and suchlike it's always been really vague. We're only just getting people in the trademark offices who are trendy enough to actually understand what the fuck they're talking about with regards to digital media.
>>323485519
Whats with all those false reports.
They can trademark it. But that wont affect lets play from youtubs in any way.
Theyre doing something completly else
>>323485857
"candy" was trademarked so it's not impossible
>>323487563
all true
but you forget one important thing
they are a huge corporation with many, many monies
>>323485519
4 THE PLAYERS
>>323487432
not even him but you are fucking cancer and should kill yourself for thinking that shit is the same
one is helpful for finding hidden secrets and shit
the other is for faggots to normie it up on camera and suck shit at videogames
>>323485519
>>323486983
Guess it's okay when sony does it!
>Watch Me Plays
>We Game
>Accredit Performance
>>323488034
It always is on /v/ - NeoGAF
>>323485519
Now /v/ should just trademark "Let's Not Play" since /v/ hates games and always told people that their games are shit and they're wasting their times playing games or having fun.
>>323488474
this is gold
They won't win. This shit is too broad. But honestly, I wish they WOULD get it so Let's Plays can fuck off.
Not like people wont try to get around it anyways. "Letz Play" would be used.
it's happening
>more like Sony just killed Nintendo
Youtube is not finished fagget, it's the home of pop music videos and shit. And it's owned by Google.
>>323485519
>trademarking "Let's Play"
what a bunch of fucking assholes
not a very defensible term though since it's the de facto word like how "xerox" lost it
>>323485519
Sony yet again stealing other people's work.
>>323487960
Exactly!
I use walktroughs to learn secret routes and all that secret shit in games that I wanna play a second time and wanna know more about(like how to get the true/secret ending, how to get new secret shit, etc...).
>be google
>push for the Transpacific Partnership
>Sony wields it against you like a katana forged in the fires of Mount Doom
>Sony kills Youtube RED by suing Pewdiepie
based Sony
>>323488604
What kind of shit is that?
I read all my LP's and honestly this is only going to hurt people who rely on monetazation. This does fuck all to stop people from streaming gameplay because they like it.
>>323488795
>other people's work
>Let's play
>>323485519
more like let's watch, right?
>>323488604
Dafuck is that?

>change or delete this language
>deleting entire languages
>>323487368
stop being so fucking edgy fagget
>>323489040
Derivatives of other people's work. It is even worse.
You can't really trademark a term people were already using commonly.
>>323485519
They already got rejected, if you check their patent page.
Stop reporting old news
>>323489040
You can steal stolen work
>>323489165
if you delete it does everyone instantly forget it?
>>323489317
you're sure to be graduating elementary school this year, right
>this gets passed
>Let's players start calling their let's plays long plays
>can no longer find videos of gameplay without facecam faggots talking over the game while too hard to be funny
This is the future you chose /v/
>>323490086
Why not just "I/We play"

good thing I don't watch long plays

>>323490250
>i play
Nobody watches because the name implies no user or viewer interaction. Interaction is the whole point of shit like Let's (let US) play.
>we play
You don't actually play the game. You are just a viewer. Also, Nintendo will rape that because it's pronounced like Wii.
>>323488365
>implying
You're delusional man. Sony is by far the most hated on /v/.
>>323489258
>edgy
Holy shit stop using words you don't understand, nothing that anon said was "edgy"
>>323485519
>Say goodbye to lets plays forever
If only.
>>323487672
I thought it was rescinded in the US. Don't know about UK.
The best possible thing to happen is that this goes through and every iteration of "Let's Play" in protest becomes "Sony Shits On" or something like that. Sony Shits On Minecraft, Sony Shits On Terraria.
That'd be very Transmetropolitan.
