Plan B Games has filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses in the “Great Western Trail” lawsuit filed by Stronghold Games.
The Answer is the standard cut-and-paste “Defendants lack knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations,” with just a few admissions to factual information.
The Affirmative Defenses, starting on Page 25, challenge the Plaintiff’s rights in the GREAT WESTERN TRAIL trademark.
Stay tuned for updates.
UPDATE: This lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice on January 30, 2020.
