Does it matter? Hasbro didn't think so when Scrabulous became one of the top games on Facebook.

Nintendo protects the Pokemon brand very aggressively.

That was a pretty specific issue, with 2 complaints. One was the name, and the other was that the board layout was identical (location of bonus squares, etc). It relaunched very quickly as Lexulous with a different board. Damage done, but it wasn't an instant kill or anything.
