Last year, Catalyst Game Labs (successors to FASA as owners of the Battletech franchise) announced that they had received licenses to resume use of the anime-derived mecha designs they had dropped use of. At first they stated they had recovered licenses for all of the original art, including the items from Macross, Dougram, and other licensees.
They then retracted that announcement, stating that they were not able to proceed with the Macross designs but did confirm their rights to the other licensed material.
Part of the announcement stated that they had been presented with what purported to be a closed legal decision granting Palladium Books permanent exclusive rights to any Macross-derived game material in the US.
Does anyone have more detail on this? Verification?
