[QUOTE="Zombie Aladdin, post: 144742, member: 4242"] Wikipedia says that it's Williams, but the Internet Pinball Database says Data East eventually bought the trademark. As Data East would eventually become Stern, it'd make sense if this was the case, as Stern has been freely using the word "multiball." However, I've noticed Jersey Jack using the word on both [i]The Wizard of Oz[/i] and [i]The Hobbit[/i], and the word has been used in various media as if it was nothing. Does anybody own the trademark, or has it been used so much that it's become genericized? [/QUOTE]
