Seriously it's a non sense IMO, I hope 3D Realms wins this... (And I like this band...)

Quoting: liamdaweI hate to say it but it was bound to happen. The amount of times I've accidentally called it Iron Maiden I've lost count...
Normally I don't like all this lawsuit business over names, but in this case I actually understand it. It was bound to happen when the name is pretty much 100% identical (even more so phonetically).

Quoting: sr_ls_boyMy questions is why this game and not a tribute band that goes by the name
"Iron Maidens"?
Slightly off-topic, hah, but I actually saw Iron Maidens some weeks ago. They were really damn good. The place was bouncing, and it was awesome to rock out to such great live music in a small venue :)

Even if it were completely identical, I'd have to agree with Shmerl on this one since they're not at all the same kind of product.
Quoting: ShmerlI'd say, Iron Maiden can't even claim a trademark on their own name. Because it's a generic term which precedes them by ages:
