Electronic Arts has secured a trademark for the name “Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville”.
The filing – which popped up on the European Union’s Intellectual Property Office records earlier in the week (thanks, Gematsu and @the_marmolade) – doesn’t offer any further information, sadly, other than its been filed against the NICE classifications 9 and 41.
The classifications are predictable enough; the former is categorised as “a computer game software; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices; Video game software”, whereas the latter, 41, is described as “entertainment services, namely, providing temporary use of non-downloadable game software; provision of information relating to electronic computer games provided via the Internet”.
