It appears that we will not getting a new True Crimes game any time soon. Activision has decided intentionally, or possibly through a mistake, not to renew its trademark for True Crime. The trademark was originally filed on June 5 2001, but as December 19 2014, the U.S. federal trademark for the name True Crime by Activision has been left by the wayside.
Activision still may plan to re-trademark the True Crime name or another company make take the name and create a new game. As it currently stands the US Patent and Trademark Office status currently reads:
“Abandoned because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action.”
True Crime: Streets of LA and True Crime: Streets of New York where exciting open world games in the same ilk to the Grand Theft Auto series, however you played a cop where you could flash your badge to get your way. These games where released for the Ps2, Xbox, GameCube and PC. The series never made it over to the last generation of gaming hardware, it remains to be seen if it will make it to this one.
