CD Projekt RED details its “Cyberpunk” trademark applications

7 Apr 2017

CD Projekt RED has taken to Twitter to explain its trademark applications over the term “Cyberpunk” for the purposes of its next title, Cyberpunk 2077.

It was discovered earlier in the week that the developer applied for a trademark of the term back as early as 2011. The trademark applications are case-sensitive, so they don’t apply to the term “cyberpunk”.

“We have to ensure that we will be th eonly entity that can use its exact name and naming scheme,” CD Projekt RED said of the application. “There wasn’t and there isn’t any evil plan behind that.”

Cyberpunk 2077 has been scheduled within a 2017-2021 release window.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
