Though not directly related to Fizzer's case, I just found this video stating that Activision may get sued themselves by their own COD players, for lack of anti-cheat measures in those games and unjust bans. So Activision may lose 2 lawsuits at once.

this site updated it but it's still wrong, WarLight in 2008, WarLight 2 in 2017 and Warzone idle in 2020 they say


I messaged him and he corrected it, says warzone rather than warlight 2 now.

Can't donate due to the crazy ongoing currency exchange rates but I wish this works out for you and Warzone. As a dinosaur in this site I wish nothing but the best and as untrustworthy as I'd deem justice systems, I'd trust you have a good case here.

Cheers & best wishes. Though empty-handed, I hope common sense and actual law prevail here.

I don't wanna kill the mood here, but a lot of you are being REALLY dramatic. Judging by the articles on this, the WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME is... nothing. They're suing to be able to use the name without paying Fizzer royalties or whatever. If they win, both games continue to be called Warzone and neither side pays the other.

If the information in the articles is false, by all means tell me, but this seems like a very small deal.

It has nothing to do with royalties. If they get the trademark, they can go to Apple + Google and say "Hey this app is named Warzone, and we have the registered trademark for Warzone, please delete the apps" and then poof, Warzone is gone. I had no choice but to oppose the trademark.

What do you get in return, other than the trademark, assuming you win?

Activision has hence sued the maker of the incremental strategy board game and wants the Los Angeles federal court to declare Call of Duty: Warzone has an independent intellectual property and which does not infringe any trademarks.


https://www.reuters.com/article/ip-trademarks-idUSL1N2M22F8
Video game giant Activision sued in Los Angeles federal court for a declaration that its “Call of Duty: Warzone” doesn’t infringe trademark rights owned by Warzone.com LLC, which makes a web-based strategy game also called “Warzone”.


https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/activision-sues-warzonecom-after-negotiations-break-down
In Los Angeles' federal court, Activision has sued, declaring that "Activision's use and registration of the word marks WARZONE and CALL OF DUTY WARZONE do not infringe Defendant’s purported trademark rights in the title of its browser-based strategy game "Warzone"" as first reported by Reuters via Westlaw.
Yes, this is another trademark lawsuit and it's usually very boring, but this lawsuit, in particular, is interesting because Activision seemingly isn't saying that the Warzone.com shouldn't exist, but that a complaint filed by Randy Ficker, the developer of the Warzone.com game is "baseless".


https://globelivemedia.com/gaming/dispute-over-warzone-small-browser-game-threatens-activision-with-lawsuit/
However, it was not Activision that took action against the operator of Warzone.com, but the other way around. Warzone.com issued a cease and desist notice to the company behind Call of Duty in 2020 to counter their application for trademark registration.


None of these articles support that narrative. At least as far as the reporting has gone, they're not trying to stop you from using the name, only argue that their game doesn't violate your trademark. It seems like it does, obviously, but I think this situation is being massively misrepresented by either you or all media sources, and I'd be interested in seeing where that breakdown comes in.

If Fizzer wins and gets the trademark for Warzone, if Activision still wants to use the name Warzone for CoD, they would have to pay royalties to Fizzer, and that's assuming Fizzer would even allow Activision to continue using the name.
