The first document lists the Attorney as having changed from a Sierra one, to a THQ one.
Seems as if THQ got their mitts on it on the 18th July 2006 (the change of address from vivendi to Douglas R. Wolf, who is their Attorney)
(Ill update this post as I trawl through this stuff)

So we actually have chance of Relic making Homeworld 3. Fear thee, the judgement be upon us!

Just because they own the Homeworld trademark does not mean they own the property

Mixed feelings here. While I'm happy to see that IP return to relic, I hoped they'd start a new universe.
Well anyways, it's a good thing, and a clear sign we can expect another space rts from relic.
Can anyone with some knowledge of law in general translate all that legal mumbo jumbo into plain english?
All I see is that it had it's assigned attorney changed from a Sierra one to a THQ one but what does this mean? Does it give a green light for future relic made, thq published homeworld games or grants the rights to the previous games etc.

No, but it would be odd for sierra to let them have the use of the name alone.

I don't care, as long as it doesn't interfere with DoW 2

For some reason I'm seeing in the first document that the revoked attorney and the new attorney is the same?
andIs what I see when I click the "TEAS Revoke Appointed Attorney" link on there. Granted, there are a lot of other attorneys listed now, but for some reason the contact address is still the same. Not sure what that means.
Although, the document was signed by James M. Kennedy, who is the "Executive Vice President, Business & Legal Affairs" for some company. Possibly this guy?
[edit]Oh wait, there's a page 2. Oops.

I get the feeling the appearance of THQ's name on this wasnt intentional, at least on their part. Its been caused by Mistar Wolfs address change (well, additions). He's been on the file since 2006 but was never named as acting for THQ, possibly to keep their ownership of it quiet.

Also, I'm going to laugh at you all if THQ buys the property and gives it to a different developer
#12
Then I'd probably never play a game made by Relic again.
If DoW 2 is made I'll never play another game made by relic again.

A two years late birthday gift to me! Why thanks, THQ!
Homeworld 3 or bust.
Homeworld 3???
