ZeptoLab, creator of mobile game Cut the Rope, filed
a claim at the U.K. Intellectual Property Office to cancel the European
registration of the trademark “candy” by King.com, developer of popular game Candy
Crush Saga, according to CNet
Australia.
In the game Cut the Rope, players cut a rope to
feed a small monster candy. The trademark registration, if held valid, would
establish King.com’s exclusive right to use the word “candy” in the titles of video
games.
King.com has withdrawn its “candy” trademark application in the United States under
intense criticism. However, it still holds a registered trademark of “candy” in
the European Union, which was used as a precedent to file the U.S. application.
