UPDATE – AUG. 29, 2012: Electronic Arts Inc. announced the first details regarding their newest Facebook game, JetSet Secrets.

ORIGINAL STORY: Electronic Arts earlier this week filed trademark applications for Jet Set Detectives and now the company has submitted two additional filings for ‘JetSet Secrets’.

The trademark filings (Serial Numbers: 85694205 and 85694206) cover online computer games and computer game software.

There’s not much speculation as to what Jet Set Detectives will be and it may be the same case for JetSet Secrets.

While it appears the video game company took steps to secure the domain name JetSetDetectives.com (Whois) through the brand protection company CSC Global, it didn’t act fast enough to register JetSetSecrets.com. According to Whois records, the name was registered this past May. A website offering tips on obtaining the best international flight deals is what appears online as of today.

EA did however register the name in a number of different extensions. It even picked up the dotXXX adult domain as shown in the screenshot below.

Other domains registered include:

http://whois.domaintools.com/jetsetsecrets.net
http://whois.domaintools.com/jetsetsecrets.org
http://whois.domaintools.com/jetsetsecrets.info
http://whois.domaintools.com/jetsetsecrets.co.uk
http://whois.domaintools.com/jetsetsecrets.de

No announcement has been made by EA, but with the number of trademark filings appearing on the United States Patent and Trademark Office website, it seems we can expect to hear something soon.

UPDATE: EA is investing big time in ‘JetSet Secrets’ related domain names. After a little digging, I found more domains registered by EA. Here’s a look at the list.

1 Comment on Electronic Arts files trademark applications for ‘Trouble Makers’ game

Electronic Arts filed two trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on January 18, 2012, for the term “Trouble Makers”.

Serial number 85519088 covers: “Entertainment services, namely, providing an on-line computer game; Provision of information relating to electronic computer games provided via the Internet.”

Serial number 85519072 covers: “Computer game software; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices; Video game software.”

At the time of this story going online, EA has not made an official announcement. However, if EA has any serious interest at all in developing a “Trouble Makers” game and launching it online, it may have to open its wallet wide to get the matching web address.

Troublemakers.com has been listed for sale on the web for years. The current asking price is $50,000 USD or best offer.

Care to guess what EA has in store for “Trouble Makers”?

Could it be the next installment of Need for Speed rumored to be out later this year?
