They (1) replicate the exact game play, +organization, and experience of the original Flow Free game, and (2) +incorporate similar imagery from the game, which federal courts have said +is enough to be considered copyright infringement. See, e.g., Spry Fox LLC +v. Lolapps, Inc., 2:12-cv-00147-RAJ (W.D. Wash. Sept. 18, 2012); see also +Tetris Holding, LLC v. XIO Interactive, LLC, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 74463 +(D. N.J., May 30, 2012). The infringing clone has the same game play as Big +Duck Games, LLC's Flow games and is substantially similar with the same +total concept and feel. U.S. federal courts have held for video games that +a clone is infringing and substantially similar for purposes of copyright +infringement if the “total concept and feel” of the two games is the same. + +Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. + +My contact information: + +[private] +Email address: [private] +Phone: [private] + +Additionally, the McArthur Law Firm can be contacted at: + +[private] +Telephone Number: [private] +Email Address: [private] +Postal Address: +The McArthur Law Firm +11400 W.
