Hello,
I named my binary puzzle game like the one that appeared in the belgian newspaper that I get each day.
Binairo.
The guy behind that company that sells puzzles to the newspaper sent me a mail today claiming that he owns the Binairo word and that I should take actions before the end of the month or legal action would be taken.
As I predicted this might happen I looked up the registered name a few months ago.
As I'm not a legal expert but know some english it still appears to me that they don't have anything to claim.
As you can see below this is only valid for printed puzzles (puzzle books, newspapers etc) and non-downloadable versions (online website versions?).
Since the app is downloaded to the phone/tablet the stuff is not applicable, right?
