Subject: Bungie and Destiny Trademarks

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I occasionally prowl through the Trademark database hoping to find new information on Bungie. Many times I close a tab unsatisfied, but I am patient. Now, it's evident at this point Bungie is working on some project called "Destiny" (codename: "Tiger"). The owners of Destiny used to be Podophobia Entertainment, Inc. whom filed the trademarks for Destiny and the phrase, "Be Brave", sometime in late 2009; and given the recent trademark search on Bungie, Inc., it appears the trademarks for Destiny and "Be Brave" have been transferred from Podophobia Entertainment, Inc., into new hands: Bungie's hands.

(Due to that website's limitations, I'm unable to link directly to the pages, you must do so yourself. Please use the link above and start a new search on "Bungie".)

As you can see by the information below, Bungie now holds the two trademarks:
Destiny:

Owner: (APPLICANT) BUNGIE, INC. CORPORATION DELAWARE 550 106TH AVENUE NE SUITE 207 BELLEVUE WASHINGTON 980045088

"Be Brave"

Owner: (APPLICANT) BUNGIE, INC. CORPORATION DELAWARE 550 106TH AVENUE NE SUITE 207 BELLEVUE WASHINGTON 980045088


What does this mean? Well, now Bungie can do whatever the hell they want now that they have captured the trademark booty!

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Our Destiny is to Be Brave.

Destiny is the possible game title with "Be Brave" as the marketing line, like the "Believe" for Halo 3.

Old news is old I'm thinking. But it was all posted in the Speculation thread on some obscure page so its good to have a thread about it. Good find regardless.

Interesting. Considering the success Halo 3 had using "Believe," I'll bet Destiny will be just as successful.

I like it.

Note that Marty told us to "Be Brave" at the end of yesterday's Bungie Panel at PAX.

So "Be Brave" is the new "Keep it clean"

Essentially
