King vs. copycats: Settlement forces 6Waves to remove its games from the Web

After a lengthy legal battle, the publisher responsible for megahit Candy Crush Saga has decided to settle out of court with one of the companies it has accused of cloning its games.

6Waves will remove Treasure Epic and Farm Epic from the Web as part of the out-of-court agreement it has reached with King. Treasure Epic is a block-matching puzzler, and Farm Epic has you matching produce like corn and tomatoes. In its filling with the U.S. District Court of Northern California, King alleged that Farm Epic infringed on its Farm Heroes Saga on Facebook and mobile while Treasure Epic illegally used assets that are nearly indistinguishable from King’s Pet Rescue Saga. In addition to taking those games offline, 6Waves will pay King an undisclosed amount.
