Social games developer King.com 's filing a trademark for "candy" with the US Patent and Trademark Office last year was approved by the office on Jan. 15, according to an update on the UPTO website.
Apparently Candy Land created in the 1940s doesn't count.
TechRaptor writes, "We take a look at the upcoming Riven remake - a fully retooled 3D adventure aiming to satisfy those who want to play the game for the first time all over again."
"The Courcelles-based (Belgium) indie games developer Badass Mongoose, are today very happy and proud to announce that their atmospheric adventure game "Helix: Descent N Ascent", is coming to PC and the Nintendo Switch in 2025." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Gliwice-based (Poland) indie games developer The Farm 51 are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released "Chernobylite: Complete Edition" for PC via Steam." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Patent words wow.should be sued for that alone
Candy is or was a company. They used to sponsor Liverpool Football club in the 80's early nineties. Not sure if they still own the name.
Edit: Just checked the firm is still up and running they own Hoover and other electical companies. Cant see a crappy little app taking that name from them
What moron approved the trademark? Well, I'm going to call myself candy and see if they sue me over it.
Also, My dog's called candy... SUE ME!
I had a teacher named Candy...
It's good to be the King.
...Dot Com.
(oh man, that movie is old, I'm old. *sob*)
