[E-trademarks] Cute holiday discovery

[Crane, Susan]

The game was first published in 1970 and was commercially available. So the prior art is out there.  And any patents from the period long expired.

Wow, so interesting. Wonder if the inventor is still alive.

This is not a tm post but only IP attorneys would appreciate this story.

When my husband was a child, he and his siblings played a British board game called Air Charter which involves moving trade goods around Southeast Asia. It was invented by an RAF officer and published by Waddingtons.

A few years ago he found a copy on eBay so he bought it so he could play with our kids.

They broke it out yesterday and we discovered in the box what is clearly a draft of a patent application covering the game. Some of the pieces have “Fig. #” written on them. I searched online and it doesn’t look like the company ever got a patent on it but what a coincidence that we got this copy.
