It's incredible that he's got away with it for so long. Hopefully for Mobigames get will this resolved.
But the industry needs to see this nasty piece of work for what he is.
Submission + - The Terrible Tale of Tim Langdell 1
Sockatume writes: Eurogamer has published added an article on Tim Langdell's battle against the Edge iPhone game. British entrepreneur Tim Langdell founded Softek (later renamed The Edge, Edge Games and Edge Interactive Media Inc.) in the 1980s as a venture to fund games development, with profits to be split 50/50 with the developers. He moved to California in the 1990s in the wake of accusations of failing to pay his developers. Now a professor in games studies at National University, an IGDA board member, and a former member of BAFTA-LA's board, "Dr." Langdell spends his time accusing people of infringing his trademarks and offering to settle. After delivering a settle-or-die ultimatum to Edge publisher Mobigames (detailed in the article), he has convinced Apple to pull the game from the App Store. Mobigames is preparing to strike back: their lawyer believes that his trademarks are "liable to be revoked". Langdell has had a spate of bad press lately as other trademark disputes come to light, involving entities ranging from EA Games to Britain's venerable Edge Magazine (source of Edge Games' logo and now registering its own Edge trademark). He has never actually prevailed in a trademark hearing.

Trust me - the HP employee discount is not something to look forward to. They only offer a fraction of the catalogue to employees and you can easily find better prices on the net. In summary don't get excited about it.
