Zynga filed the infringement action suit in California Court against Kojobo SAS for violation of Fedral Lanham Act. Zynga claiming dilution and unfair competition in the suit has also claimed its mark as well known. It is another instance of battle of trademarks popular in internet or social network domain. It is to be seen whether the California court is going to allow Zynga LLC for the injunction or not.
