Saludos, Se\u00f1ores de la Guerra.<\/p>\n

Ya sab\u00e9is el revuelo que ha habido estos d\u00edas<\/a> tras la demanda de Games Workshop<\/strong> a una autora por usar las palabras \u00abSpace Marine\u00bb en una obra literaria de ficci\u00f3n que no ten\u00eda nada que ver con Warhammer 40.000<\/strong>. Hasta John Scalzi (presidente de la asociaci\u00f3n de escritores de fantas\u00eda y ciencia ficci\u00f3n de Am\u00e9rica<\/a>, la que otorga entre otros los prestigiosos premios Nebula) ha saltado de chispas.<\/p>\n

Pues bien, parece que Games Workshop<\/strong> ha reconocido su error, ha \u00abdejado\u00bb que MCA Hogarth<\/a> siga autopublicando Spots the Space Marine<\/a>, como reconoce la propia autora<\/a>. La presi\u00f3n social ha sido demasiado fuerte.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Me gustar\u00eda adem\u00e1s hacer eco de lo que Games Workshop<\/strong> ha publicado en su facebook<\/a>\u00a0y que Enric Lopez nos hizo notar:<\/p>\n

Games Workshop owns and protects many valuable trademarks in a number of territories and classes across the world. For example, ‘Warhammer’ and ‘Space Marine’ are registered trademarks in a number of classes and territories. In some other territories and classes they are unregistered trademarks protected by commercial use. Whenever we are informed of, or otherwise discover, a commercially available product whose title is or uses a Games Workshop trademark without our consent, we have no choice but to take reasonable action. \u00a0We would be failing in our duty to our shareholders if we did not protect our property.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0To be clear, Games Workshop has never claimed to own words or phrases such as ‘warhammer’ or \u00a0‘space marine’ as regards their general use in everyday life, for example within a body of prose. By illustration, although Games Workshop clearly owns many registered trademarks for the Warhammer brand, we do not claim to own the word ‘warhammer’ in common use as a hand weapon.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Trademarks as opposed to use of a word in prose or everyday language are two very different things. Games Workshop is always vigilant in protecting the former, but never makes any claim to owning the latter.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vamos, que s\u00ed, que intentan proteger su Propiedad Intelectual (algo que es l\u00f3gico y normal, despu\u00e9s de ver c\u00f3mo otras compa\u00f1\u00edas sacaban \u00abcosas parecidas\u00bb, s\u00f3lo faltar\u00eda que tambi\u00e9n usaran el mismo nombre…). Que yo finalmente s\u00ed que puedo sacar hasta un juguete que sea el martillo de Thor y llamarlo \u00abWarhammer\u00bb, pero que (l\u00f3gicamente) no podr\u00e9 sacar un juego o una miniatura que sea Warhammer<\/strong> y sea claramente \u00abreferente a lo suyo\u00bb. Es decir: que se les fue la pinza con esta obra, que ni siquiera hab\u00edan le\u00eddo y que \u00abdieron por supuesto\u00bb que iba sobre un Ultramarine o un Lobo o algo y por eso lo retiraron, que finalmente s\u00ed que puedo sacar \u00ab40.000 maneras de aparear un mejill\u00f3n<\/a>\u00ab.<\/p>\n

Lo que s\u00ed veo que en el Facebook la gente est\u00e1 que trina. Pues… joder, para una vez que reconocen su error y tiran atr\u00e1s la demanda, hay que aplaudirles. Bien hecho, Games Workshop<\/strong>, reconocer un error es algo muy valiente y que os honra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
