gogul: Is there an intellectual property lawyer in the house? I wonder whether BrainKing would have to make royalty payments to Mattel Inc., Hasbro, or whomever currently owns the Scrabble trademark.

Subject: Re:

wetware: I'm a tax lawyer not an IP lawyer. However, I am certain that websites may not use trademarks without permission of the trademark owner, which means paying a royalty. Some elements of a game may be patented or copyrighted also. This is why you don't see a proliferation of trademarked games on the Web, and why they are available generally only through paying sites.
