Innanzitutto grazie per le risposte.
Vi riporto tali e quali due FAQ presenti nella sezione Intellectual Propery di The Game Crafter:
1.
Can I make my own Magic: The Gathering cards, for my own personal use only?
No, you may not make any MTG cards for any reason unless you've received express written permission from Wizards of the Coast to do so, and have provided us with a copy of this written permission and contact information so that it can be verified.
2.
Can I make my own custom version of Monopoly?
We checked with our friends over at USAopoly to see if there were any rules about creating custom monopoly games. They provided us with the legal text from Hasbro that is on the official versions of Monopoly that they make:
“HASBRO and its logo, the MONOPOLY name and logo, the distinctive design of the game board, the four corner squares, the MR. MONOPOLY name and character, as well as each of the distinctive elements of the board and playing pieces are trademarks of Hasbro for its property trading game and game equipment, © 1935, 2015 Hasbro. All rights reserved.”
The understanding is that this legal text covers the Monopoly logo, Monopoly name, Mr. Monopoly images, the 4 corners of the board (GO, Jail, Free Parking and Go To Jail) the color bars above the game board spaces, the chance (question mark) and community chest (treasure chest) symbols.
In questi casi il brevetto non copre solo le grafiche, ma anche meccaniche, struttura del tabellone di gioco, elementi distintivi…
Detto questo l'ordine su TGC probabilmente procederebbe senza intoppi né conseguenze però è evidente che starei violando dei loro termini di utilizzo.
Diciamo che vorrei evitare di trovarmi in situazioni spiacevoli per un semplice “scherzo tra amici”.
Voi cosa ne pensate? Come vi comportereste?
