[Ogf-l] Dungeon Master trademark

[Githianki]

Ryan, I always thought that a trademark had to be something used basically as a brand or character or company identifier.  I don't see how Dungeon Master was used in this manner.  Was it somehow because of the cartoon?   When you said you wanted to clear it up or whatever, is that becuase you question the usefulness of having it "locked up" OGL-wise or because you wonder about the validity of it as a trademark?   [I don't think voicing an opinion on this would undermine the validity of the trademark since it is registered and you don't speak for the legal team at Wizards, but if you can't you can't...] -Alex Silva
