A little over over a week ago, I wrote about PopCap Games registering over two dozen new domain names of many of its existing games. The names included the words: casino, slots, and poker, such as bookwormcasino.com and bookwormslots.com.
Included in the bunch was luckygemcasino.com, which now appears to be the name of PopCap’s Online Casino game destination, based not only on the fact that PopCap has filed a trademark application with the USPTO as of September 20th, but on the name change that took place in the past week to its Facebook PopCap Casino Page.
Originally, the page was called PopCap Casino (pictured below from early Sept.), now it’s be renamed to Lucky Gem Casino (as shown above).
Earlier this week PopCap filed a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (serial no. 85427495).
Here’s a look at the filing.
