As expected, Warner Bros’ application for a patent on Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis system has been granted.
IGN reports the US Patent and Trademark Office released an issue notice, which is currently offline, on 3rd February 2021 confirming the patent goes into effect on 23rd February 2021, with an option to maintain until 2035.
As we reported last week, Warner Bros. has been trying to gain approval for this patent since March 2016, although reference to it is made as early as March 2015. Monolith Productions’ Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor came out in September 2014.
