The CEO of King, the Candy Crush Saga developer that has been taking heat recently for its trademark of the word "candy," has published an open letter in which he addresses the company's handling of trademarks and allegations that it cloned a competing game.
King recently made headlines after it was granted a trademark on the word "candy" in Europe and began pursuing the same trademark in the United States, resulting in numerous developers being asked to change their products' names. Among those affected is Stoic Studio, the maker of The Banner Saga; King is opposing its attempt to file a trademark on Banner Saga due to King's line of games having "Saga" in the name. King says it isn't trying to stop Stoic from using the Banner Saga name and that it's merely doing what it must to protect its trademarks .
