Doodle Jump is one of the better iOS games around, strangely addictive with adorable style. Countless other apps have tried to cash in on its success by using the “doodle” moniker, and similar art styles. Fed up with this, developer Lima Sky is attempting to trademark the term “doodle”.
While I can see why they’re frustrated by other companies aping their success, they weren’t the first app with doodle in the name, and I cannot for the life of me see how they could have the legal grounds to force all 700 odd apps that use the word to change their name.
