Facebook Pursuing More iPhone App Developers For Trademark Infringement

This afternoon I was contacted by the developer of an iPhone application who has been notified that their applications risks being shut because of complaints filed by Facebook. While the developer of the application appeared unaware of the violation, it’s pretty clear that the application violated Facebook’s trademarks, more specifically by creating an application that used “FB” in the name.

After shutting down a fake Facebook iPad application last week, Facebook appears to be turning up the heat on developers that violate Facebook’s trademarks.
