I hope Crush [0] sues them for trademark infringement and gives them a taste of their own medicine.

Hasbro[1] should join the party, especially since they are in the electronic games market.

Oddly enough, there's already an app called "Candy Land" that has nothing to do with the board game.

Trademarks apply only to a specific class of goods or services. Unless Crush has a trademark on "Games and playthings; gymnastic and sporting articles not included in other classes; decorations for Christmas trees.", there can be no infringement.
