Yesterday we reported that King, the developer of hit mobile game Candy Crush Saga, had managed to trademark the word 'Candy' and had begun issuing trademark infringement warnings to developers on the App Store.
Apparently they're not content to stop there. Eurogamer are reporting that as well as issuing warnings to a number of 'Candy'-related games, King are now also going after the Kickstarter-funded game The Banner Saga, over its use of the word 'Saga', stating:
"The Banner Saga mark is confusingly and deceptively similar to Opposer's previously used Saga Marks. The use and registration by Applicant of the mark The Banner Saga for Applicant's goods is likely to cause confusion or to cause mistake or deception in the trade, and among purchasers and potential purchasers, with Opposer's Saga Marks, again resulting in damage to Opposer."
