Re:Why don't they just buy it? (Score 1)

If it's only about trademark, the legal standard is (and I paraphrase), "the possibility of confusion in the mind of the average person." By that standard, I think Hasbro's gonna lose, as "Scrabble" and "Scrabulous" don't seem interchangeable to me at all. Remember that PTO allowed Western Publishing to take the walking fingers of Yellow Pages, put a small line through it, and considered that sufficiently different to avoid infringement--despite the fact that most consumers didn't notice the difference. Western built an entire business off of that confusion. Scrabulous isn't even close.
