: : What copyright laws are there on computer games, other than obviously naming one game after another. It seems that many years ago games were copied left-right and center, with merely the name changed. Today though this practice seems to have all but died. : : Any information on this would be useful, it has been quite a challenge for me. You guys are my last chance. : : *MArk : The copyright law cover the images and the code. The game idea can only be covered by a patent if it infact patentable. : Ideas in themselves are not patentable. Monopoly could not stop Easy Money, The Monopoly trade mark is valuable and can live forever. Even copyrights expire. : M.
