  • Lawyers for toy makers Hasbro and Mattel say Scrabulous infringes their copyright on the board-based word game.
  • The Scrabulous add-on was not created by Facebook but was built for the site by Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla - software developers based in Calcutta.
  • The request to remove the add-on came from both Hasbro and Mattel because ownership of the Scrabble trademark is split between the two. Hasbro owns rights to the game in the US and Canada while Mattel has rights everywhere else in the world
  • Facebook has been asked to remove the Scrabulous game from its website by the makers of Scrabble. 

     The Facebook add-on has proved hugely popular on the social network site and regularly racks up more than 500,000 daily users.
