Zombie(S), Run!

[Mac]

Peter,

Are you aware of this? Are you at all involved?

[Peter Dolan]

Hey Mac,

Thanks for noting this, I just found out about it a couple hours ago.  No, I'm not involved in it nor did anybody from Six to Start contact me about it.  I haven't had a chance to talk with them but intend to soon, hopefully it's an extraordinary coincidence.

- Peter

Sounds more like an incredible lawsuit....

[NightDead]

This is way out of line. I would start by seeking legal action.

Hey all,

I'll let you all know what I find out tomorrow, I think it may actually be a mistake.

I would start by contacting them first, and THEN seeking legal action

Most probably a mistake, by all likelihood.

What was the original email? All I can see is there is a problem with Z.R. leaving curious as to what the problem is.

I don't know why some are freaking out. It looks like a solid idea and
is fairly different than Zombie, Run! I don't see how any legal action
could be taken, considering that Zombie, Run! is a free app, and
development is pretty much dead at this point. Honestly, I can't wait
to see if this game lives up to that sweet trailer.

[Peter Dolan]

Hey all,

I just got off the phone with them, here's the scoop: the game's name
was not a coincidence and wasn't a mistake. They were very aware of
Zombie, Run!, but chose to go with the name Zombies, Run! anyway. I'm
still talking with them.

Personally, I think it looks like an awesome game, and I look forward
to trying it out :)

The only thing I could think of is the name is similar, thus violating the Zombie, Run trademark, and people might confuse the two,

[Peter Dolan]

People are definitely confusing the two.  I've seen many comments on blogs touting the Kickstarter project that believe it's an upgrade to Zombie, Run!.  At least one member of the open source team that helped me develop it in the early days thought that it was an upgrade, too.

[Caleb McGrath]

I guess there's a game called Zombies! Run! that's the same thing

[Edward Boicourt]

Peter I'm kinda new the the game (your game) unwanted to ask if there will be an iPhone version. Could someone shed some light on this

[Terry Turner]

I'd be upgrading zombie run soon cause this new one sure has more to it , going to lose players

[tom jackson]

Yeah

James Edward Millison Jr

[Peter Dolan]

Well, it should be noted that this is not an upgrade of Zombie, Run!, it's a different game that's being built by different people.

That said, I'm sorry to see you go.

I'm not sure about trademark law, but you might have a case if you want to persue it. I don't remember if you need to register trademarks or not for protection. You should look into it, in case politeness doesn't work

[Tadeusz Jedrzejak]

Hi Peter,

I loved Zombie, Run! On my android, but since I have a Iphone I really miss it for this phone..
Any plans to get it to Iphone?

doing somthing!!!!

[ismael alva]

Jajajajajajaja

[Tyler Tully]

Rather similar in many ways. Crazy people!

[Greg]

Yes, trademarks do have to be registered with the Patent and Trademark
Office, just adding the letters "TM" doesn't make it official. A quick
search of the PTO database shows that neither "Zombie, Run!" nor
"Zombies, Run" is currently trademarked, but a whole lot of other
zombie things are.
