ELORG was responsible for the licensing of the popular
video game series
Tetris.
Tetris was written by salaried programmers at the
Soviet Academy of Sciences, which was not allowed to carry out commercial activities directly. In 1996 ELORG was reportedly a privatised Russian company which retained the rights to the
Tetris trademark. ELORG was a partner in
The Tetris Company which licenses the
Tetris name to game companies, along with
Tetris creator
Alexey Pajitnov and businessman
Henk Rogers. Elorg was a 50 percent owner in the company until Rogers and Pajitnov bought ELORG's remaining rights around 2005. ==References==
