GridBloc, Inc. secures Master License of Game-design Patent

Austin, Texas-based mobile entertainment studio GridBloc, Inc today announced it has secured a key game-design patent license, which provides a creative foundation for original GridBloc Games, as well as new ways to enjoy some of the world’s favorite games.

The patent, allowed by the U.S. Patent Office to Team Smartypants, Inc., and game-designers Mario Champion, Frank Champion and Mark Zatopek, describes a method of games with moveable play space. The License has applications to many classic and popular real-world and online games such as Chess, Checkers, Reversi and Go, as well as wholly new digital, mobile and board games, such as GridBloc Game.

Great games are often a reward in themselves, says Mario Champion, Chief Creative officer for GridBloc, Inc, and in an industry of some great, if seemingly endless, clones and sequels, it's nice to be recognized and protected for truly innovative design.

An additional patent is pending, as well as international PCT filings are underway. Gaming is global, says Mario Champion, Chief Creative officer of GridBloc, Inc, and our direct goal of providing innovative content for an international community of mobile and desktop gamers, and a return for our investors, calls for global protection.
