The Complainant is Jagex Limited, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2000. The company carries on the business of designing, developing, publishing, and operating online video games and other electronic-based entertainment.<\/p>\n

The Complainant asserts to be well-known internationally for its Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (“MMORPG”) RuneScape and Old School RuneScape (RuneScape and Old School RuneScape are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Games”). Old School RuneScape is based on the source code from the 2007 version of the RuneScape MMORPG, and is hence commonly referred to as “OSRS” or “2007scape” by the player base. The Complainant contends that, together, the Games average a total of more than 3 million active users per month.<\/p>\n
