Since this suit was ended by a settlement, it was never determined by a court whether the original ways that Mayfair was using the mark to indicate compatibility were infringing or not.Then TSR in 1991 went after Mayfair for using the AD&D trademark in ways not covered by the settlement. And Mayfair, in court, admitted it breached the agreement, and in 1993 the court found they did breach the agreement, but the court found the violations were not significant enough to terminate the agreement, and said that "the scope of appropriate relief is deferred pending further submissions by the parties."At this point, a settlement was reached between Mayfair and TSR that involved TSR buying the rights to the Role Aids line from Mayfair.</blockquote>
