The confusion over who has the right to market electronic dart games to the coin-op industry has
been furthered by an antitrust and libel suit filed by Arachnid , the manufacturer of Engli h Mark Dart ,
against IDEA Ltd., the producer of Century Dartes. (Play M t r, September 1, 1983 p. 26.) Among other
accusations, the suit claims IDEA and its marketing partners took design ideas from Arachnid to develop an
electronic dart game with the intention of squeezing Arachnid out of the dart market. It also claims an
O ctober 1, 1983, ad in Play Meter contending IDEA's products are not copyright infringements of Arachnid's
product is "libelous, defamatory, false, and otherwise misleading."
