About 2% of downloads & revenue (out of a total of $2~ million revenue and 6.6~ million downloads) came from China.
I wonder if filing for a trademark in the US (where they could prove first use) and leaving the Chinese market would be a way to solve this.
- mattnewton 7y agoThey have a trademark in the EU and US according to the reddit thread. The problem is their app was removed internationally instead of just in China, and they are having trouble appealing it.
- shekhardesigner 7y agoFeels like a lesson to be learned. You invent first - trademark it first as well. I wonder if the original game developer was in watch mode while all these trademarks over EU, US and China was granted.
- terramex 7y agoYou misunderstood, original game developer has trademark registered in USA and EU and still their game was removed form sale in those markets.
- shekhardesigner 7y agoMy bad, @mastazi, If you have trademarks over EU, US - why not start a petition and let community help you bring down Apple to reinstate you?
- delfinom 7y agoBoth Apple and Google rarely reinstate an app, they don't care, they hide behind the corporate machine, they have plenty of other apps to take their cut from.
- imtringued 7y agoI don't get it. Do you really believe that people should file for trademarks in every country on earth just so their app doesn't get shut down in the US?
- mattnewton 7y agoThen trademarks are broken. They are supposed to protect and incentivize inventors, not lawyers.
