The never ending Edgeventures of Tim Langdell

[Spacehost]

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the App Store...

Seriously though, I'm glad Langdell remains dedicated to the comic art form.

[Alex W.]

Sometimes, when I'm troubled, I'll go over to TTABVUE, put "edge games" in the search box, and reassure myself that, yes, Tim Langdell is still trying to do his thing, and therefore there are at least some constants in the universe.

Didn't EA annihilate this fool?

I thought all of his trademarks relating to the word Edge got revoked!

[Alex W.]

Apparently even that cannot stop him. It's inspiring, in a way.

[Dudley]

How does he have this kind of money? He's sold nothing since the mid-90s.

[Not Thread Owner]

From suing everyone who uses "his" trademarks, remember.

[Not Thread Owner]

Wait.

*Dr.* Tim Langdell?

[SeanR]

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Microsoft Edge.

[MaffewE]

I'll help.

If there's one thing internet explorer was missing, it was the ability to draw over web pages.

[BitterToad]

Yeah, I used to dream of a day when I could circle some shoes and do a smiley next to them. The future is now.

[Ivanho]

Bah! Was hoping that he's been caught out playing his patent/trademark troll games again and was having his arse legally handed to him again!!

[Alex W.]

It looks like's currently tangled in legal cases against Future and Razer.

He is also now going by Rev. Dr.

[smac]

For what? I thought all his marks were suspended?

Edit: What polmon said.

I just saw this on another forum:

How long until he trademarks the word zen

Rev. Tim is an ordained Christian Priest as well as being a long-time Zen practitioner. An Oxford born Brit, Tims primary career is as a Pediatric and Palliative Chaplain working in the Los Angeles area. His work includes ministering to the pastoral care needs of patients in hospitals and in hospices, and he has held several staff and per diem chaplain positions are various hospitals and hospices in Southern California. Prior to re-training as a chaplain some years ago, Tim had a career both as a psychologist (he has both an MA from Nottingham University and PhD in Psychology from University College London) but also as a professor of both psychology and of digital media. His MDiv is from Claremont School of Theology.

Tim is passionate about Christian-Buddhist dialogue, and runs the websites www.ChristBuddha.org and www.MettaMaria.org, the website he founded to explore the creation of a kids hospice in Southern California founded on both Christian and Zen values, practices and ethics (the topic of his Upaya Cohort 6 thesis). His organization, Still Center, provides meditation instruction, workshops, retreats and spiritual direction (www.stillcenter.org). Tim is a published author, his most recent book being the one he wrote for Praeger with his wife on the spiritual and psychological effects of coping with vision loss. He is currently working on several new works, both non fiction books on spirituality and pastoral care as well as his first novel.

Tim is a member of the Zen Center of Los Angeles as well as of Upaya Zen Center. He can be reached at RevTimLangdell@gmail.com

Upaya.

[Alex W.]

FYI he's currently embroiled in suits against Future, Samsung, and Razer. Oh and Mobigame, still.

Given the outcome of the EA case that's some serious chutzpah right there.

"if a word exists and no troll is around to squat on it, is it really a trademark?"

[Dudley]

To be fair, everyone who suddenly decides to call themselves "Rev" immediately becomes excellent at the law.

[SqueakyG]

Tim is passionate about Christian-Buddhist dialogue

And copyrighting the word Edge. He's really passionate about that.

It would have been funny if Microsoft had decided to call Internet Explorer "Edge" about 5 years ago. What would he have done?

[Rev]

I'm going to sue you to fuckery and back.

[Alex W.]

He's suing Samsung this year. There's still the distinct possibility that he might sue Microsoft.

[Polmon]

This is all quiet surreal. Are we sure there aren't two Tim Langdells out there? One mega cross-religion super priest, and one weak old trademark troll. How the hell does someone have enough time and energy for all that shit?

[Fry Crayola]

Time

Energy

He has everything.

[Mr Cochese]

The palliative chaplaincy gig has to be a cover for scamming money out of old ladies, right?

[Mr. Gerbik]

He offers spiritual relief to help deal with unfortunate edge cases

[womblingfree]

There was a great documentary about the absurdity of US patent law and the masses of lawyers who spend all their timing trolling people to sue in an industrial complex somewhere in California or Texas. Anyone remember the name?

[Blu3Flame]

Was it these?

Those are great, but the one I'm thinking of was on TV, possibly Netflix or BBC. I think it's mentioned in this thread somewhere.

[Alex W.]

Just checked, we've crossed some sort of threshold because Tim Langdell has actually hired professional legal representation for his case against Razer. He's still flying solo in his cases against Samsung, Future, and, I swear to god, Mobigame. He's still involved in a case against Mobigame.
