Copyright and trademark litigation involving Dino Patti
Playdead confirmed complaints to former co-founder Dino Patti concerning alleged infringement and unauthorized commercial or marketing use of Playdead trademarks and copyrighted works. The dispute included a LinkedIn account of Limbo's development that Playdead said used unauthorized materials and presented Patti's role in a misleading way. Patti later stated that Playdead had filed a formal lawsuit and accused the company of attempting to remove or diminish his contribution to Limbo and Inside. The legal outcome is not established in the available reference material.
