Scrabulous Case Dismissed

Scrabulous Case Dismissed
The long torrid tale of Scrabble knockoff Scrabulous may finally be coming to an end. Hasbro, the owner of Scrabble in the Americas, sued the Agarwalla brothers, the developers of the popular Facebook game, and Facebook followed by taking the application down.

Now, after a name change and some modifications to the play mechanics and aesthetics, the brothers are back with Lexulous. Hasbro is apparently satisfied with the changes made and have agreed to drop the suit.

The court has agreed to dismiss the case from Hasbro, but the brothers still face challenges outside the U.S. and Canada from Mattel, who owns the copyright throughout the rest of the world. [From: BetaNews]
