    Copyright != Trademark.

    You can’t copyright the letter R; but you can trademark the specific R logo they use.

    These look distinct enough that I would hope a judge rules against Take Two on this.

      My bad, don’t think I appreciated the difference.

      My point still stands though. Can no entertainment company ever use an R in for their logo without risking the wrath of the T2 legal team? Seems like a ridiculous claim

        It might end up similar to the word edge, from what I remember it is somewhat held as one of this things and the person holding it throws a fit ones in a while, when someone else uses the word, like with Mirrors Edge.

        I am not that read up on this though so I don’t know the current status of the word.
