    The first, dominant element of the two marks, NAUGHTY, is identical,” Sony said. “The second elements, DOG and CAT, are highly similar in that both refer to house pets

    That has to be the most flimsy lawsuit I’ve ever heard. Any lawyer that can win with that case is a freaking genius.

      Surely there must be a Naughty Bunny somewhere that could shoot that right back at them? Maybe not in video game trademarks.

    I’d understand if it wasn’t a game developer, but this looks like a clear case of piggybacking.

    Also, fuck gambling.

    Sometimes you just gotta ask yourself if the juice is worth the squeeze.

    Naughty Dog has been a shitty name for a studio in the first place.

      Reminds me of DogFart productions 😅 If you don’t know what that is, don’t look it up.
