Blizzard files trademark application for "Cute But Deadly"

Application covers everything from milk bottle caps to socks.

World of Warcraft and Diablo studio Blizzard Entertainment has filed a trademark application with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) for "Cute But Deadly."

No Caption Provided

The application covers a range of goods and services, including milk bottle caps, socks, t-shirts, papercraft, and action figures, among other things.

"Cute But Deadly" is not likely the name of a new Blizzard Entertainment game, as the application does not mention video games in any capacity.

A Blizzard Entertainment representative was not immediately available to comment on how it plans to use the trademark.

The next new release from Blizzard Entertainment will be the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Diablo III, which are set to launch on September 3. Next-generation versions will follow in 2014, according to a recent report.

When they saw how much money could be made after copying pokemon, they realized children are the only ones stupid enough to buy into their product lines any more. It'll be interesting to see how many more millions of players quit their games after the next 6 month block of subs runs out.

How long Blizzard would survive with 3 IP's only??? Soon Blizzard will be dead as they didn't create any new IP from last two decades.

@MatrixGamer78 Blizzard has only ever had 3 ips. Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo. Lost Vikings and other things were always temporary.

@Grenadeh @MatrixGamer78 True, but up until recent they were exceptionally good at their 3 IPs.

@aovannor Though we can't know for sure, it does seem like that's what they're trying to do... And if that's the case, then it's pretty sad. It's the eleventh hour and Blizzard definitely needs to make a come-back. I refuse to believe that this developer has forgotten or doesn't care about its old fanbase. But every year they just seem to give me another reason to think that way.

@jessie82 @Mega_Skrull Aw, allow me to politely disagree. I love FO3 and New Vegas, and I can't possibly consider it milking with the time they take to release them

I agree with some of the people here that this phrase is a bit too generic to be trademarked. Either way, I think it has to do something with this children's book:

This sounds akin to Disney's stunt with attempting to trademark 'Día de los Muertos'. Completely out of left field and just plain weird...

Sounds more like Activision, less like Blizzard. The last real part of Blizzard either died when they got bought, or will die when StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void is released.
