So as an example, you called it the "Warhammer Fundraiser" or something that had one of their trademarks directly in the title? As opposed to, I don't know, "Grim Dark for the Holidays" or something like that?
Just another example of a large corporation overreacting to something that DOESN'T REALLY MATTER!!
I mean, seriously. GW makes millions of dollars every year. By comparison, the amount of money 'lost' by IP (an oxymoron) infringement is infinitesimal.

Hi all.
I am not an expert on IP.
But GW has lots of options available to resolve IP issues.
However , GW seems to just issue C&D orders in a very heavy handed way.
GW could grant limited licences for promotion - development ,On the understanding no money is made , in a for 'personal use only' type agreement.
Most game companies are happy to have thier products features on BGG.
But perhaps those companies like to work with thier customers in a bid to improve thier products...
