As soon as Dong Nguyen announced that he intended to return Flappy Bird to the App Store, the American company Ultimate Arcade Inc. announced: she will do everything to prevent the game from returning to the store.
It turns out that in 2006, the flash game Flappy appeared, reminiscent of the gameplay of the creation of a Vietnamese developer.
Due to the fact that the Flappy trademark has been around for eight years, Ultimate Arcade Inc. considers its return to the Apple app store unacceptable.
The company has already notified the App Store about its claims. She also noted in her letter to the Techinasia website that, despite the fact that federal trademark registration is not a prerequisite for stopping the illegal use of a trademark in the United States, she, in the case of a new release of Flappy Bird, will require compliance with case law.
Apparently, in this way the company hints at the January story with King. Recall that on January 15, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office gave the go-ahead to consolidate candy as a trademark of King (in the field of electronics, software and video games). After that, Apple began to refuse registration to all games with the word Candy in the name.
Also, Ultimate Arcade Inc. is dissatisfied with the fact that today I perceive its game as a clone of Flappy Bird.
How the holders of mobile storages will react to the appeals of Ultimate Arcade Inc. is unclear.
