http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2013/09/zestiriratrademark.jpg Namco Bandai has made discovering what the next Tales game will be a bit of a puzzle, but a European trademark for "Tales of Zestiria," which comes darn close to the "Tales of Zestoria" spotted last month (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/24/tales-of-trademark-registration-by-namco-bandai/), might shed some light on the situation. Or spur speculation. Either one, really. You can check out the trademark yourself by visiting the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market's website (http://oami.europa.eu/CTMOnline/RequestManager/en_Detail_NoReg#) and searching "Tales of Zestiria."
Siliconera (http://www.siliconera.com/2013/09/04/tales-of-zestiria-is-most-likely-the-name-of-the-next-tales-game/) spotted the filing, which is attributed to Namco Bandai, and is currently listed as "under examination." While many trademarks never amount to anything and there are plenty of "Tales of" trademarks, the fact that Namco has filed for a trademark in the European market that nearly matches one filed in Japan is reason to pause, and continue to tell these tales of trademarks.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)'Tales of Zestiria' trademark filed in Europe (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/08/tales-of-zestiria-trademark-filed-in-europe/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sun, 08 Sep 2013 13:30:00 EST.
