I know another user has posted the actual article regarding the topic, but I'm asking for peoples opinion on the matter. King (Creator of Candy Crush Saga) has recently recently trademarked the word "candy", this applies to things such as games, clothing, and footwear. They claim to be "protecting" their IP from infrigment.
However some speculate it is to bully other companies. The creator of "All Candy Casino Slots" has reported that Apple has contacted him to either remove his app or prove it doesnt infringe against King's new trademark.
Should they be able to own the trademark of the common word "candy"?
