Ummmm, did you get the rights to use cyberpunk name?


Like isn't it copy right?


I am just wondering.

Cyberpunk is a genre that predates the Cyberpunk 2077 game.

hon, the term cyberpunk is a genre term from 1983. names aren't copyrightable (in the US and most other countries).

It is a registered trademark, but i doubt anyone really wants to try to make a solid case that this game is being falsely represented as a licensed product affiliated with R. Talsorian Games or CD Projekt Red.

"...cannot copyright words that are widely used by the general lexicon of a given language..."

Basically, even if "cyberpunk" were copyrighted, it can't be copyrighted anymore. It's too widely used as a generic term, like "mayo".

Oops.  😂
