Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder at FiftyThree Just a few facts: 1. "Paper", an app from developer "Contradictory", has existed in the App Store since October 27, 2011. This is presumably before miSoft registered their Paper. (https://twitter.com/FiftyThree/status/430873195097632769 https://twitter.com/FiftyThree/status/430873195097632769) Contradictory is clearly a name squatter. 2. miSoft's Paper launched ~5 months after Paper by FiftyThree.

Thanks for your reply. I have no problems with your name (and I'm in love with your app, Paper). But on your release day I did come across another app called "Paper" that I actually downloaded by mistake because App Store search is so bad it hadn't indexed "Paper by FiftyThree" yet. I can't find it anymore, but the icon was very simple, a plain white A4 piece of paper on a blue background. I assume this app existed on the store before yours because I managed to accidentally download it on your release day. When a name is generic like Paper I think it's okay to have multiple apps on the App Store.
