"Fine, you don't want us to work with your throne, we'll make something cool, we'll make something better," he says. To get around the mess, Sosa says he's working on another project, one that's hopefully different enough to avoid HBO's wrath: a "Throne of War" that will feature all sorts of weapons, from Tommy guns to rocket launchers. This font makes use of the Game of Thrones brand, that’s symbolized inside the O. It has a clean finish, making it clear to read. This font has a present day- gothic layout developed by means of Charlie Samways. Sosa and his business partner Mike Bauerlein acknowledge that, while they didn't realize it would be a copyright issue, they did make their product too similar to HBO's throne. This Game of Thrones fancy font is stimulated by using the display’s brand. So while the legal future of 3-D printing, especially where copyrights and patents are involved remains somewhat unclear, it's clear that HBO considers a replica - at least, when sold - to be within its intellectual property rights, so much so that the company demanded Sosa remove all hints of the throne from both his website and the Instructables page where he described its creation.
"Especially with a show like Game of Thrones, the amount of product licensed around that is exorbitant," he says, adding that he's not sure of the specifics around another licensed throne dock.
Update: HBO Vice President of Corporate Affairs Jeff Cusson calls it a "pretty straightforward intellectual property infringement." HBO did not respond to a request for comment by press time. "I modeled every sword, it was really a lot of work." "That throne, it took me months to make," he says.
