Smith's case victories include a $13 million suit awarded to Ubisoft Entertainment for the contentious Bratz license dispute with MGA Entertainment, a $10 million copyright infringement claim against Optical Experts Manufacturing for leaking info on Assassin's Creed, and scoring Ubisoft rights to Tom Clancy's soul name and likeness.

"We are pleased that Steve has been recognized for his outstanding work within one of the entertainment industry's hottest areas," said Smith's boss, Greenberg Glusker's Managing Partner Norman H. Levine. "His understanding of the industry and the competitive environment helps make the Firm a leader in this evolving area of entertainment law."

Kind of makes me want to be a lawyer. I wonder if I should try and transfer my grad studies to Stanford's law school...

<![CDATA[New Ubi Site Launches, Secrets Abound]]> jsf.JPG

A new Ubisoft site popped up today that seems to be for some yet to be named title. Mousing through the site you come across a number of audio files that seem to indicate that the game is set sometime in the future. There are also biblical references, including to Revelations 6:4 which reads: "And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat theron to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."

The hidden forums on the site are already buzzing that this could be some sort of post-apocalyptic or just pre-apocalyptic game. The fact that the site references Ghosts, Splinter Cells and other special ops groups has the posters there hoping that this is some sort of mega-game that ties all of the Tom Clancy's franchises together into one final title. Sounds like a really cool idea.

Could this be Firehawk?

Oh and the tags for the site are: "jsf28555833-80604722, rev 64, rev64, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, GRAW, Clancy".

We know most of these already and Rev64 is obviously a tag for the revelations citation. My guess is that the JSF in the tag, and also mentioned in the sound files, refers to the Joint Strike Fighter program, a real-world program that develops advanced war aircraft. Hmm, sounds more and more like Firehawk.

Go on over dig around and then report back here, lets get to the bottom of this.
