Take-Two has filed a new trademark for its open-world classic Bully (aka Canis Canem Edit) which covers "video game programs and software," among other things.

The trademark application, sent on July 25th, will protect "computer and video game programs and software; downloadable digital materials, namely, wallpapers, screensavers, digital music files, and graphics, videos, films, multimedia files, live action programs, motion pictures, and animation in the field of video games and computer games."While this could just be Take-Two protecting its brand, it opens the door for speculation on a possible sequel to the original, which was developed by Rockstar Vancouver (since disbanded) and first released on the PlayStation 2 back in 2006. Earlier today, Take-Two revealed it's anticipating its most successful fiscal year ever, expecting to pull in nearly $2 billion from its various properties by March 2014.Lucy O'Brien is Entertainment Editor at IGN AU.
