TTC, currently own and license ''[[Tetris]]'' rights through [[Elorg]]. [[Henk Rogers]] and [[Alexey Pazhitnov]] established the company in 1996, when the ten year Russian license expired. With the creation of TTC, unlicensed made games felt pressure, since TTC had to protect its trademark rights. Licensed games would start to follow a [[Tetris Guideline]] maintained by TTC and include TTC's "Authentic Tetris Game" seal. During the summer they updated their page and mentioned changing their name to Tetris Holding Company. The update was temporary and the site reverted back soon after. In an interview with Pajitnov, he confirmed this as well as mentioned finishing the contract with Elorg. Most recent games confirm this.

'''The Tetris Company''', or '''TTC''', is the exclusive licensee for the Tetris brand. Licensed games would start to follow a [[Tetris Guideline]] maintained by [[Blue Planet Software]] and include TTC's "Authentic Tetris Game" seal.
 
== History ==
In 1996 the rights to Tetris that [[Alexey Pajitnov]] had granted to [[Elorg]] expired. When Blue Planet Software was founded, negotiations were made with Alexey Pajitnov to form a new company with existing Tetris IP and trademark owner Elorg.<ref>{{cite web

}} </ref> The two companies became owners of The Tetris Company. On January 21, 2005, Elorg's share was sold to [[Henk Rogers]] for 15 million dollars. The rights to Tetris were put in a new company called Tetris Holding, owned by Henk Rogers and Alexey Pajitnov.<ref>Sheffield, Brandon.

== Legal enforcement ==
 
Since the late 1990s, The Tetris Company has sent cease and desist letters to developers of unlicensed Tetris clones. They claim that such versions of Tetris violate copyright and infringe on their trademark.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abednarz.net/tetris.html |author=Bed |title=The Tetris Company's Activities |date=2000-10-27 |access-date=2019-09-10|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021013135941/http://www.abednarz.net/tetris.html |archive-date=2002-10-13 }}</ref>
 
In 2012, The Tetris Company sued Xio Interactive, claiming their Tetris clone ''Mino'' infringed on several copyrightable elements, such as the shapes of the blocks and the matrix size.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-06/20/tetris-clone-ruling |title=US judge declares Tetris clone 'infringing' |author=Brown, Mark |date=2012-06-20 |publisher=[[Wired UK]] |access-date=2012-07-01}}</ref>

The Tetris Company, or TTC, is the exclusive licensee for the Tetris brand. Licensed games would start to follow a Tetris Guideline maintained by Blue Planet Software and include TTC's "Authentic Tetris Game" seal.

History

In 1996 the rights to Tetris that Alexey Pajitnov had granted to Elorg expired. When Blue Planet Software was founded, negotiations were made with Alexey Pajitnov to form a new company with existing Tetris IP and trademark owner Elorg.[1] The two companies became owners of The Tetris Company. On January 21, 2005, Elorg's share was sold to Henk Rogers for 15 million dollars. The rights to Tetris were put in a new company called Tetris Holding, owned by Henk Rogers and Alexey Pajitnov.[2]

Legal enforcement

Since the late 1990s, The Tetris Company has sent cease and desist letters to developers of unlicensed Tetris clones. They claim that such versions of Tetris violate copyright and infringe on their trademark.[3]

In 2012, The Tetris Company sued Xio Interactive, claiming their Tetris clone Mino infringed on several copyrightable elements, such as the shapes of the blocks and the matrix size.[4]
