Now, after quietly battling this trademark opposition for a year, I have learned that you now want to cancel my CandySwipe trademark so that I don't have the right to use my own game's name. So when you attempted to register your trademark in 2012, I opposed it for "likelihood of confusion" (which is within my legal right) given I filed for my registered trademark back in 2010 (two years before Candy Crush Saga existed). So much so, that I have hundreds of instances of actual confusion from users who think CandySwipe is Candy Crush Saga, or that CandySwipe is a Candy Crush Saga knockoff. Two years after I released CandySwipe, you released Candy Crush Saga on mobile the app icon, candy pieces, and even the rewarding, "Sweet!" are nearly identical. In fact, if you beat the full version of the android game, you will still get the message saying ".the game was made in memory of my mother, Layla." I created this game for warmhearted people like her and to help support my family, wife and two boys 10 and 4. I released CandySwipe in 2010 five months after she passed and I made it because she always liked these sorts of games. Congratulations! You win! I created my game CandySwipe in memory of my late mother who passed away at an early age of 62 of leukemia.
