All the King’s sweets: Candy Crush Saga studio gets trademark for the word ‘Candy’

Sorry, kids. The candy belongs to King.

Candy Crush Saga developer King has successfully trademarked the word “Candy.” Last February, the social-game studio filed a trademark claim with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the word that appears in the title of its most popular mobile and Facebook release, which is one of the highest-grossing games on mobile devices. Almost a year later, the USPTO approved the trademark on Jan. 15, as first spotted by website Gamezebo.
