TECH CRUNCH - May 17 - Zynga has told the makers of the dating site CupidWithFriends that they need to change the site’s name, because it allegedly infringes on Zynga’s trademarks. CupidWithFriends was built by the startup Apartment 7. The site launched a couple of months ago, allowing users to build and edit dating profiles for their friends. There’s also Bang With Friends which was recently booted from the Apple App Store.
In a litigious society we walk on eggshells strewn about thin ice. Can we all just get along?

It's nuts what gets trademarked these days - I would have thought "with friends" was just use of the English language - not a trademarkable property.

This is just crazy and agree with Harvey above about his "with friends"comment
