Japanese manufacturer Taito has released a statement that the Invaders installation by Douglas Edric Stanley and displayed at the Games Convention held in Leipzig, Germany, was produced without Taito's knowledge and that the use of the world-famous Space Invaders content was unauthorised.
The Space Invaders: The Anniversary Show, exhibition at the Computer Game Museum Berlin, was also planned and presented without Taito’s knowledge or authorisation and the company is now considering all available options - including legal action against the infringer, and if necessary, the Games Convention exhibitor involved.
