The Banner Saga developer responds to Candy Crush Saga studio’s attempt to block its trademark

In the past few days, the makers of Candy Crush Saga have gone after games that use the words “Candy” and “Saga” for trademark infringement — I’d keep the lawyers on speed-dial if were the Orange Crush company.

Earlier this week, GamesBeat reported that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved King’s request for the “Candy” mark. This is in addition to the “Candy” trademark the company already owns in the European Union. While the U.S. process will require King to wait 30 days in case anyone else would like to appeal the patent office’s approval, the Candy Crush Saga developer is already sending letters out to studios that are using the words that it claims belongs to it for the use in its popular free-to-play puzzle game.
