Can they do this? Dec 27, 2011 10:07:39 GMT -5

- As noted yesterday, WWE has registered to trademark WrestleFest, the name of a popular WWF arcade game. WWE is not bringing back the WrestleFest title. The reason for the trademark filing is WWE got wind of an outside project that was in the works. WWE sent a cease-and-desist letter to those working on the project and filed the trademark.

So they hadn't trademarked it, found out some guys were working on it and stopped them. Then at the same time, file a trademark to ensure they can't release it.

I'm not aware of trademark laws in the US, but that seems a little wrong they can stop something they hadn't trademarked until they found out about it.
