Dear researcher,
I need to know all copyrights two gaming companies named Blizzard
entertainment and Blizzard north holds. The companies are owned by
Vivendi Universal Games but all copyrights I am interested in should
be on either Blizzard entertainment or Blizzard north. There might be
sub-companies to theses two but I doubt it, however, if you could see
if there is/are (and if so, which copyrights this/these holds) that
would be appreciated.

Yours truly

Hello puppetmaster,
It was not real obvious, but the information you are looking for is on

I am quite sure they have more copyrights than the ones listed on
their site. Is there not a way to check that up?

I assumed that Blizzard would list all of their copyrights for their
own protection. However, as you suggested I searched the records of
the United States Copyright Office on their website. Under Blizzard
here are all the listings shown:
