Tetris® gameplay being under trademark quite feels like "we have a trademark on all bicycles, if you want out of it make a tricycle or a motorbike" and it's a trademark so… can it even expire?
@lanodan yeah a concept can't really be trademarked. Panted sure but not trademarked. I doubt it'd stand up in court very well.

@sjw @lanodan Game designs can't be copyrighted, patented, or trademarked. You can write a 1:1 clone of any game as long as it doesn't use any trademarks, copyrighted code, characters, etc.
