  Gene Simmons Wet

Mork also found that Gene Simmons has registered the trademark Zipper in relation to comic books. But he's also registered Zipper in relation to ...

  On December 28, 2007, American video game company Interplay filed to protect the trademarks GamesOnline and GamesOnline.com in relation to online and downloadable games.

Interplay has owned the GamesOnline.com domain since 1996. While they used to maintain a website, a new site is currently under construction. Further signs that Interplay is restarting its development studio include the recent (December 2007) registering or re-registering of trademarks related to its past games, including Descent, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Die By ...
