IMO this is why Zynga's Words With Friends has a different board, different point values and different bonus squares...
- praxulus 14y ago"Scrabulous" the name is a pretty obvious ripoff of "Scrabble," so that's not really a great example. However, the Mino case is certainly very interesting.
- saddino 14y agoThe Scrabulous case alleged both trademark infringement (the obvious name ripoff) AND copyright infringement (the board and tile design).
