I Forsee A Lawsuit with Portals [Update]

LMFAO!!



"But I don't like Spam!"

What would the lawsuit be? Copyright law doesn't protect names ("portal") and trademark infringement would only exist if this origin storage was selling a similar product that your average consumer would confuse as being the original product.

I took a quick look on the Valve site. The Portal logo always has a tiny TM beside, so yes it is a trademark.

From what I remember, you don't actually need to officially have a trademark is someone else steals your look to the extent that their product could be confused with yours. It's just easier to sue if it's a TM.

It really comes down to whether or not the logos are similar, which they are. There's a hair care place downtown where I live that was being sued by a large corporation over their logo, even though they aren't in the same business. Valve most certainly can sue over this and most likely win.

See Nick they fear your ninja powers!

Just wait until you see how expensive Dell **** is after lawsuit!
