The toy giant also asked Facebook to take down Scrabulous, which has more than 500,000 daily active users on the social networking site. Barry Nagler, Hasbro's general counsel, said: "We view the Scrabulous application as clear and blatant infringement of our Scrabble intellectual property, and we are pursuing this legal action in accordance with the interests of our shareholders, and the integrity of the Scrabble brand." Facebook forwarded the request to the Agarwalla brothers, who yesterday pulled the plug on the game in the US and Canada until further notice.
