You don't know that. All we know is that it was removed. That does not mean that it was for fraud reasons. And why would they make a game based around the SotS website? All that contains is art for the game. The trademark specifically calls out a game so what point would there be to link it to Sons of the Storm?
People will bitch over stuff, no matter what, do u remember when pandaria was revealed "OMG THE PANDAS, LOLOLOLOL CHILDS GAME"
Blizzard can name it ANYTHING and the SAME people will complain over it

I just had to come back to this thread. "Heroes of the storm" has to be THE ugliest name ever suggested for an xpac. If this is for real i'll probably unsub tbh.

Heroes Of The Storm actually sounds more like the name of a song for ETC's concerts, in honesty.
It doesn't sound very WoW-ish so I sincerely doubt this is an expansion name.
If it is genuine and legit, then its likely either: Hearth Stone Expansion, Lost Vikings Remake, or more likely, nothing to do with video gaming and simply a brand, franchise or as I said, a song or album name for ETC.
Whut , Whut, 3 different Trademarks, coming from Blizzard , Half - Life 3 confirmed
To judge this for it's name having no clue is quite bias, don't you think?
Let time tell, I wouldn't drop it as the next X pack, it's about time to get some name.
I would bet after this site leaked extensive details of cataclysm, blizzard realized the best way to handle this is get the fan sites to feel they had a vested interest in NOT doing this in the future. It may seem obvious in retrospect but it is certainly pretty smart.
It is pretty impressive blizzard has managed to keep this under wraps so late. even with 2 possible trademarked names, the folks who know aren't talking.
Authors I have enjoyed enough to mention here: JRR Tolkein, Poul Anderson,Jack Vance, Gene Wolfe, Glen Cook, Brian Stableford, MAR Barker, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, WM Hodgson, Fredrick Brown, Robert SheckleyJohn Steakley, Joe Abercrombie, Robert Silverberg, the norse sagas, CJ Cherryh, PG Wodehouse, Clark Ashton Smith, Alastair Reynolds, Cordwainer Smith, LE Modesitt, L. Sprague de Camp & Fletcher Pratt, Stephen R Donaldon, and Jack L Chalker.
Alright gonna throw in my prediction
Let's see what it is not:
Heroes is obviously Turalyon and co so Legion expansion
Example of Legion expansion supporters: Half Life 3 confirmed - Gordon Freeman will fight legions of enemy soldiers - Legion expansion confirmed
MoP is the calm before the Storm so this is the new expansion
Well apart from reading things into a veeery common saying, the storm was the MoP patch cycle. Besides I still think TDB is legit.
Heartstone expansion
Game is still in beta.
Titan
won't enter beta at least until 2016
Blizzard All-Star
Already has a much more informative name
Star Craft 2 related
no room for more
Diablo 3 expansion
Reaper of Souls
Yeeeah I think all possibilities are covered. Only one thing left. Mark my words this is some Lost Vikings stuff.
