Patents, Copyright and Trademarks, Oh My! What you can and cannot use from an existing game.

We answer a question about using the mechanics from an older game in your current game design and spend some time talking about copyright, intellectual property, trademarks and patents. We also review Disney Sidekicks, a new cooperative game from Eric Lang, and have some more thoughts on Lost Ruins of Arnak, Doodle Dungeon and more.

“If a game has been patented for more than 20 years, is it legal to use the card mechanics? Is it still covered by intellectual property?

Regarding card mechanics, if a game is played with numbers, shapes and colors and the goal of the game is to collect matches, can I still play this exact game if I change the numbers, or shapes or colors to a different factor, such as size?”
