Ubisoft applying for trademark: Worlds of Might and Magic? |

Ubisoft apparently has plans to expand the Might and Magic franchise into the world of MMORPGs, that is, if you think that the words "Worlds of" implies that.
Gamespot reports that a quick trip to the US Patent and Trademark Office Web Site reveals that Ubisoft has an application for a trademark on the phrase "Worlds of Might and Magic" and that the patent is in relation to online gaming services. The application was filed last November.
When contacted, a representative from Ubisoft says that he hadn't heard of it before (plans for MMO), and adds that the phrase has actually been trademarked since way back in 1999, when defunct publisher 3DO filed for it for use in an online game.Ubisoft is the last listed owner on that trademark, which, according to the USPTO site, is still live.
Wideload Games also has around three applications for trademarks. The development studio behind Stubbs the Zombie have trademarks filed for Founding Fighters, Hail to the Chimp, and Cyclone.
We all have to keep in mind though that these trademarks were filed just for the names of the games and is not an indication that the games are actively under development.
