Basically a man has trademarked the word "Edge" and uses that trademark to earn a living suing and intimidating people who make games with the word Edge in them. He has gotten really quite wealth from doing so. However EA, a massive games development company, have gotten sick of his shit and are suing to have his trademark nullified. He has of course counter-sued with the intent of halting EA's suit until his is resolved. Details here: here.
Just FYI but IP laws are utterly utterly terrible in every way and in every aspect they're applied.
