Tabletop Gaming News » Lone Wolf send Cease and Desist over Army Builder trademark

Apparently Lone Wolf is sending out C&D letters over the use of the term "Army Builder" including use of it in forums.

Those letters sound like an army builder, building an army of resentment against their company.

Oh well, -- N

They also make hero lab. So it's tangentially important.

If I read that correctly, Lone Wolf has NOT sent any C&Ds. They simply sent a letter to Privateer Press to ask them to help police their trademark, "Army Builder". Lone Wolf is certainly within their rights to protect their trademark, the program IS the most popular tool for miniature wargamers and has been for years. "Army Builder" is just as a legitimate trademark as "Player's Handbook".
