Good afternoon @itch.io.

I am Dr. Tito Aureliano. I am the author of the original Dino Hazard® franchise which includes games, toys, books, comics etc. I am the only owner of the Trademark DINO HAZARD. See www.dinohazard.com.

You recently published another game entitled 'Mutant Alley Dino Hazard' which illegally claims to own my Trademark 'DINO HAZARD'. It is actually a developer using my intellectual property in the title of the product without my consent. I am talking about this game here: https://tailsup4tyranno.itch.io/mutant-alley-dinohazard

By using 'Dino Hazard' as part of the title of your game you are not only confusing my clients and fanbase but causing potential Legal problems for me, since a great percentage of the 'Dino Hazard' customers are kids and teenagers.

The original published earlier by me and my studio (BONE COLLECTORS) is:

Itch.io: https://bonecollectors.itch.io/dino-hazard

Steam Early Access: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1287540/DINO_HAZARD/

Itch.io seems to have a good reputation among the indie game dev community. I am surprised that you let this happen. Steam would never let an infringement like this happen.

I already flagged your video on YouTube and started preparing Legal measures regarding this situation.

I would like to kindly ask you to remove the upload of this game that illegally uses my intellectual property in its title or request the change of the title immediately.

I will be waiting for your feedback this week.

Sincerely,

Tito Aureliano.

hello, since the games title is Mutant Alley and only the subtitle is Dinohazard (One word) I’m not in violation of your trademark. Also: MA Dinohazard wasn’t published first on Itch.Io but on Patreon and FA so I have proof that the game was released and announced 5 months before your trademark registration. However, I would have no problem changing the games subtile to something else but I suggest to contact me via Mail so that we can discuss this option and don’t have to use a public comment section here.
