mthompson Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) That's not even the right typeface for the original logo. Come on, people, we've been through this before!! Who owns the trademark now? It doesn't seem to be Intellivision Productions. Edited October 29, 2017 by mthompson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rev Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 It’s close enough that I didn’t even notice it was different font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yea, great question who picked up the rights to Intellivision products? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rev Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 This was in another thread a while back. It appears you could license a product yourself. Through this company, and I assume some funds would make it back to Intv Prod. Let us know when your line of scratch n sniff panties is on store shelves. http://www.licensingworks.us/meet-our-clients/intellivision/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It looks like that licensing pitch is just for Intellivision and the related game images. The Mattel Electronics name and logo appear to be a separate item, which Intellivision Productions never used. I wonder if Mattel still owns and licenses it and the handheld products. In any case, it's odd that the original logo isn't being used. As for the future of Intellivision Productions, Intv Funhouse posted a link to this back in August. Any other news would be welcome, but sometimes the wheels of progress turn slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Intellivision Productions should have the trademark on the running man graphics and the name Intellivision but nothing with the word "Mattel" in it could have left Mattel in 1984. Anything that Intellivision Inc and INTV Corp reproduced had to have the Mattel name removed. (eg boxes, instructions, overlays). And the same goes for Intellivision Productions who aquired the rights, and still has the rights to everything INTV Corp had. According to the uspto trademark database, Mattel let the "Mattel Electronics" trademark expire. But nobody else can use it since nobody could make a toy or game or probably a computer with Mattel in the name without Mattel Inc permission. But you never know what some people try to get away with. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4802:rxljn1.2.1 AccThe Mattel Electronics xs Edit: Even some of the artwork on the packaging might still be copyrighted to Mattel.

LiveQM Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hello! Sorry I know this thread hasn't been updated in a while but I came into quite the collection of Mattel, Coleco, Tiger, etc. Handhelds and I was wondering what your input would be on these: They are a re-released from 2001 but I have boxes of them, Basketball, soccer, baseball, football. What is the value on something like this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
