Mobigame has made another appearance on the iTunes Apple Store with “Edge by Mobigame”. The game which was available across the U.S. and the U.K. as Edge on the Apple Store from March to May was renamed as Edge by Mobigame following the legal dispute from the Edge Company. Tim Langdell, the owner of the Edge game was involved in a major legal smackdown for the use of the word Edge in the previous iPhone game launched by Mobigame.
Mobigame’s David Papazian said that by renaming to ‘Edge by Mobigame’, they have been able to get the approval of Apple. So, Langdell cannot claim much against ‘Edge by Mobigame’ and this name would be the one that will be used in the U.S. and the U.K.
Earlier, the trademark dispute had led Apple to remove the Edge from the Apple store following a discussion with Langdell. Mobigame was the informed by Apple that the game will be restored only when the disputes have been settled. Edge has not been on sale since July.
Langdell also received a major blow when the developer of the console title Mirror’s Edge, EA DICE filed a complaint to nullify Langdell’s Edge trademark in all regions. There has not been any verdict given for the EA DICE’s suit, the dispute between Langdell and the Mobigame looks to have been settled as the game has been restored by Apple under the new name Edge by Mobigame. Edge is definitely a wonderful game for your iPhone and you should buy one before the next dispute arises.
