Atari vs Atari, Inc.

Atari was a reasonably litigious company. Pong is like virtually just a set. That seems as bare bones as gets. Could you have a copy right on Pong? And in fact, lots and lots of people made Pong and Pong derivatives. As far as I know, Atari did not prevail. But once we started adding distinctive elements. Yeah. The court said Pac-Man's particular artistic interpretation of the game was designed to create a certain impression which would appeal to a non-violent player personality.
