Hasbro withdraws suit against Scrabulous creator
Hasbro Inc (HAS.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on December 15 that it agreed to withdraw a lawsuit against Scrabulous creator RJ Softwares, after the Indian information technology firm made changes to its Lexulous and Wordscraper online games.
In an emailed statement, Hasbro said the agreement "provides people in the U.S. and Canada with a choice of different games and also avoids potentially lengthy and costly litigation."
The toy maker, which is also known for its Transformers and Playskool brands, declined to comment beyond the statement.
Hasbro had filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York earlier this year, saying Scrabulous infringed on the intellectual property rights of the popular board game Scrabble, to which Hasbro owns the rights in North America.
