King: We trademarked ‘Candy’ because ‘our IP is constantly being infringed’

Mobile developers that make games with sugary treats might soon get a call asking them to cease and desist.

Yesterday, GamesBeat reported that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved the “Candy” mark for Candy Crush Saga developer King. While other companies still have 30 days to prove to the USPTO that this trademark will hurt their business, that’s not stopping King from going after certain games that prominently feature candied treats.
