I mean, isn’t that how trademark is supposed to work? I’m no expert or anything but the original creator hadn’t used the trademark in over ten years and ostensibly had no intention to do so. He also didn’t respond to the notice of opposition.
Seems to me the courts did the right thing in letting gametech have the trademark if they intended to use it.
That’s not to say that I support them making a shitty Cryptobro game but them obtaining the trademark by itself doesn’t really seem shady to me.

I would be entirely fine with Flappy Bird passing into the public domain, but this isn’t even that. They actually own it now.
Yep, that’s exactly how it works. They’re douchebags but this is how TMs work.
