French Games Firm Faces Suit Over Use Of 'Ville'
- The Telegraph , Wednesday, May 9, 2012 3 AM
American social games maker Zynga is accusing Kobojo of trademark infringement regarding ‘Pyramidville’ – a game which was released onto Facebook last year. Zynga said in its complaint: "Facebook users are likely to believe, erroneously, that PYRAMIDVILLE is a member of Zynga's 'VILLE Family of Games’.” Zynga has been trying to trademark the word ‘ville’ with the US Patent and Trademark and Trademark Office. However, according to reports, the process has been slow and without much progress.
