Meaning blatant copyright infringement...examples where they simply changed the title screen or modified the sprites...but where some or most of the original code was copied. Same gameplay (i.e. maze, dots/whatever)...
In a business law class at the moment, and we're covering intellectual property, and I found a case Bally brought against some other companies... http://openjurist.org/714/f2d/1117/ballymidway-mfg-co-v-us-international-trade-commission
Just curious how many other companies released a game that was intended to look/feel like Pac-Man...
