 After the success of "Monopoly" and "Finance", Milton Bradley decided to issue its own version of "Finance".Despite the "Landlord's Game" patents having expired and the auction-monopoly game itself having developed in the public domain, Parker Brothers sued Milton Bradley for patent infringement, and the latter was forced to license the former's patents to continue production of the game.MB was forced by Parker Brothers to make changes for its 1936 "New Improved Edition" issued in three separate versions, so that it no longer played quite so similarly to "Monopoly".
