		Anspach, a Bay-area economics professor, fought a nine-year legal battle with General Mills (then the owner of Parker Brothers), and won the right to trademark the name "Anti-Monopoly" and the suffix "-opoly" which the company had previously prevented other gamemakers from using.
		After analyzing the court ruling, Anspach remarks, "I've concluded that the only rights left [that the company retains] are some of the artwork." The US Supreme Court found that Clarence Darrow, the so-called inventor of Monopoly, was in fact taught the game by Quakers in Atlantic City.
