| I'm gona trademark the word "THE" and then sue them for using it on their website ... |
| ||
| Would not surprise me if someone has tried. I already have a nice idea for a game where you crush candies, I'll knock it out this weekend. |
| ||
| I had a similar issue with my app Battleship which is trademarked by Hasbro... |
| ||
| You'll just get jam-manufacturers after you! (And if I was told 'saga' was trademarked, I'd have assumed the owners were the travel agency that do or did holidays for older people.) |
