Both our games can continue to coexist without confusing players.” I have learned that they picked the Candy Crush name before I released my game and that they were never trying to take my game away. “I am happy to announce that I have amicably resolved my dispute with King over my CandySwipe trademark and that I am withdrawing my opposition to their mark and they are withdrawing their counterclaim against mine. This week, CandySwipe dev Albert Ransom took to his app’s page to post the following statement. Now, just as quickly as the disputes appeared, they have both been settled. The second dispute came after CandySwipe developer Runsome Apps opposed King’s attempt to register its trademark for Candy Crush Saga – a move that prompted King to file a counterclaim against the smaller developer. The first dispute, from Stoic Studios, centered around its Viking epic strategy RPG The Banner Saga which shared the last word as many of King’s games. The ensuing storm of negative press eventually led King to withdraw its trademark application for "candy" in the US - but not in Europe. Two high-profile trademark disputes with King over the words “Candy” and “Saga” have reportedly been resolved.īoth disputes came from earlier this year, a time when King came under fire for asserting its trademark on a pair of common words.
