Do you mean that?
I personally think DotA should remain neutral. Not being a trademark to any company or person. It was born as a Warcraft 3 map by Eul whom evolved the AoS concept. I think what Valve is doing with trademarking the name is pretty lame.
It's just a "1-up" war. Valve started making DoTA, and then Blizzard tried to 1-up them by making Blizzard DoTA, and now Valve is 1-upping them by trying to trademark the name. It's almost like little children arguing over their favorite toy. :/
Valve: We want to trademark DOTA because DOTA's creator works for us.
Blizzard: No. We are the DOTA creator because we own all custom-maps. We're the one who will trademark DOTA!
IceFrog: Can we decide the winner on a DOTA match?
That'd be perfect. LOL. Blizzard vs. Valve on DoTA. XD
Edit: I just had a thought, do you guys think this will sink WC3 DotA? If so, what will happen to WC3?
Aparently you haven't read the editor Text that appears every time when you start the WC3 Editor. Every map made by it is owned by Blizzard and so is its name.
This is true. Therefore, WC3 DoTA is technically owned by Blizzard. That said, I do hope Blizzard wins if there's a lawsuit.

So what do you think will happen to WarCraft 3 after this? They can't use WC3 DoTA if this gets trademarked by either Blizzard or Valve.
