![]() ![]() King’s response was both ruthless and ingenious: It acquired the rights to Cand圜rusher, a game that predates CandySwipe, and then used the ownership of that game to argue that Ransom should lose his trademark. Ransom’s trademark on CandySwipe preceded King’s claim on Candy Crush Saga, and because his game was demonstrably suffering from confusion with King’s (and perhaps inspired by King’s own readiness to file infringement claims), he took action to defend his mark. Original Story: King hasn’t exactly employed a light and discretionary touch in the defense of its Candy Crush Saga trademark, but even in that less-than-flattering light its handling of CandySwipe maker Albert Ransom was equal parts brazen and nasty. In a statement released late last month, the studio said, “Stoic is pleased to have come to an agreement with King regarding Stoic’s The Banner Saga trademark, which enables both parties to protect their respective trademarks now and in the future.” Update: Stoic, the maker of The Banner Saga, has also settled its dispute with King, and actually did so ahead of the CandySwipe settlement. The maker of CandySwipe has announced that he has “amicably resolved” his trademark dispute with Candy Crush Saga studio King.
