I don’t think you understand. Gamezone did own a trademark obtained legally to use the name. The thing is, Gamezone cannot force Hasbro to stop using the title (and if they tried, they’d be in for a world of hurt).

Hasbro could prove that Gamezone’s non-existent game is a derivative work in court, but that would cost a lot of money and could take a year or two- for a game that’s already released in the US.

I think it is more economical to simply pay Gamezone for the trademark.
