Here’s the description from the California Extreme website:
A look behind the scenes of the many legal disputes involving GCC, including:
- Atari’s 1981 lawsuit over Super Missile Attack, GCC’s enhancement kit for Missile Command
- licensing Crazy Otto to Midway, which led to Ms. Pac-Man
- character trademarks and royalties
- forty years of controversies about Ms. Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man
This talk was recorded, and should be available on YouTube soon. Here are my slides (sorry, no embedded video).
