Scrabble Sues Scrabulous
Yesterday Brad Stone reported that Hasbro has filed a lawsuit against Rajat Agarwalla and Jayant Agarwalla, the developers behind the popular Scrabulous application. Just last week the company launched the legitimate version of Scrabble on Facebook. The application has attracted over 8,000 active daily users so far but it will be a long road before the application is competing directly with Scrabulous.
Hasbro stated, “We view the Scrabulous application as clear and blatant infringement of our Scrabble intellectual property, and we are pursuing this legal action in accordance with the interests of our shareholders, and the integrity of the Scrabble brand.”
