Valve trademarks Half-Life 3 in Europe

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Half-Life 3 is official(wait for it)ly trademarked in the European Union. NeoGAF users (via ) spotted the registered trademark from Valve with the European Union's Trade Marks and Designs Registration 🐈Office, which was filed on Sept. 29.

The European registration filed through a Spanish representative is for " Computer game software; Electronic gꦓame software; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices; Video game software," and "Provision of on-line entertainment; provision of computer and video games and computer and video game programmes from a computer database or via the Internet."

No equivalent trademark has a♐ppeared on the U.S. Patent and🅠 Trademark Office's online register.

This doesn't mean a Half-Life 3 announcement is pending, of course--it could just be Valve getting in on the mark early to ward off squatters. At the very least, it lends credence to the idea that the next Half-Life (the first since 2007's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Half-Life 2: Episode 2) will drop the episodic nomenclature.
