Half Life 3 Trade Mark taken out by Valve.

Probably just securing the name before someone grabs it but still.

Obviously not an expert on trademark law, but I'm pretty sure that they actually have to use it within a certain time period (although I think announcing developing it counts as a use).

IIRC 6 months to publicly show intent to release, probably in the form of a trailer that shows work has been done to the game.

someone farted out on the internet that the domain names for
COD 6 COD 7 etc, was bought already by the company who made them.
so I really won't call that a valid reason to party.
