I think that if we've reached a point that a developer cannot use the generic word candy in the title of their app, whether it relates to Candy Crush or not, then we already have problems. It's bad enough we have to use apps with misspelled words to avoid litigation or create new IP, but now people have to spell candy as "kandi" to avoid lawsuits? It just seems to make everyone involved appear to be completely stupid.

Seems on a weekly basis the price of entry to this industry continues to go up.

Misspellings technically don't count if they still sound like the original. http://www.bitlaw.com/trademark/infringe.html
