Why not trademark each letter independently?

I don't agree with your word choice, but yes.

 

This is very messed up.



That's not something nice to do King. Your company may be named like that but you are a piece of shit to me. King my ass.

I don't tend to hate games or companies, but I'll be damned if I didn't say that I hate Candy Crush with all my passion. Almost all my classmates are always playing that crap.


Where did that even come from ?

It looks EVEN worse than Angry Birds.

...I feel so old....oh well, grampa gotta play with his old GameBoy and Plastation Portable Vita (see what I did there)

Ironic, that you don't agree with kirby007's use of a word, but also disagree with the restriction of another word.

Last year I learned I couldn't use the word MEMORY because it was trademarked,” said Hsu. “Now I wonder what other common words will be trademarked in the App Store.

Wow, sounds like my problem. I released an app with the word Memory in also. A european company went through Apple and got my app removed, they didnt want to discuss it, and apple were useless. It was rubbish. There was no way my app could get confused with their name... and you shouldnt be able to trade mark a single word that is not associated with a product. My app had four words in it.. while they had "memory" as a trademark.

Trademark laws are absolutely shocking and Apple do nothing to help app creators when it's not remotely the same :(
