Candyswipe4/27/2023 ![]() Now, Ransom reports, is petitioning to have his CandySwipe trademark revoked instead so that they can purchase it for themselves, in the same way that they recently bought a similarly named game called Candy Crusher earlier this month. So he filed for “likelihood of confusion” against and quietly opposed the game’s trademark for the past year and a half. He filed for the trademark back in 2010, and everything was hunky dory until 2012 or so, when attempted to file their own trademark for Candy Crush Saga. Immediately Ransom became concerned, because in addition to have very similar names, Candy Crush saga did this thing where it sort of looks exactly like CandySwipe. ![]() And Albert Ransom, creator of the 2010 game CandySwipe, wants to set the record straight.Īccording to Ransom, who explained the situation in a recent open letter on his website that’s addressed to the company, he created CandySwipe in order to create a loving tribute to his deceased mother, who “always liked these sorts of games” - meaning games in which you swipe at chains of connecting objects to score points. Sure, it’s a rip-off of Bejeweled, but it’s also stepped on the toes of some other already-existing games, too. We know Flappy Bird is the new hotness, but before that, Candy Crush Saga was where it was at.
