What about the old games by the same name?

I loved them =)

The bad thing is that "Putt-Putt" is getting a lot of publiciy by doing this. Bad publicity, but publicity nonetheless.

seriously these guys are acusing mojang...you are not the best people, when people want to make a game in real life they put it in a game for instance minecraft

If this happened, why haven't they gotten a cease-and-desist from the Hunger Games people?

Because they know it is just a game and people have fun, oh, and because they're not fu**** retarded

What would happen if they somehow win, 0_0 NO!

I was just reading the article from geekosystem and this shows how stupid this putt putt company is:

"If you google “Putt Putt Craft,” by the way, you get a string of video walkthroughs (like the awesome one below) of the different maps out there, and absolutely nothing officially licensed by Mojang. Because, you know, that’s how Minecraft works. People go on it and they make things, and then they call those things whatever they want, and everyone knows that there’s nothing to be done about it. Everybody but Putt-Putt, at least."

Some people just need to do their research...

Whoa.. Putt Putt still exists?
If I didn't think golf was lame, I'd track one down.

Actually, those people (minecraft side) renamed their stuff specifically to avoid this kind of issue.

Abuse of copyright law like this should be punishable by taking the copyright away from them.

Sadly, the exact opposite is true. If they DIDN'T abuse their trademark like this it would be taken away.

actually, those companies can sue the person making the maps, as well as any company or entity that enables them to infringe. Welcome to the new internet. Just because you're a kid, don't think they wont take your parents house. Watch what you do!! Lawsuits for everyone!!

Massive fail on their part...

Aww... don't take it so seriously though. Keep in mind that Mojang didn't do anything (except sit back and laugh).

Just goes to show how poorly a company makes themselves look when they're so eager to take legal action without even understanding what they're getting all fussy about.

The name Putt Putt worked out so well for Humongous Entertainment though.

At Mojang office
Mailman: MAIL CALL!
Notch: This letter seems important, after all its from a golf company and it requests return service.
Despite all the joking he opens it and reads it
Notch: ROFL
Notch shows it to the rest of the Mojang team
Everyone: ROFL
Jeb: Ok, now how do we make them look as silly as possible?
Notch: By posting it on the internet of course

That is at least how I imagine how this came to be xD

This children is why we don't put lazy people in charge of our legal departments.
