I remember reading about Mobigames’ EDGE and the legal issues it was facing about a year ago. Apparently, a man named Tim Langdell had trademarked the word “EDGE”, and was trying to kick the legal ass of anyone who tried to take *his* trademarked name. However, after a long year of on-and-off App Store appearances, EDGE is back on the App Store, and looks like it’s here to stay, according to this press release:

We were not alone during this year, and we thank all of you for all your efforts. Thanks to us ALL the word ‘edge ‘ is now free to exist on the App Store like on any other marketplace, and games like Mirror ‘s Edge, Shadow Edge, Killer Edge Racing or Edge by Mobigame can live on our iDevices

I’m still baffled that people can copyright common words like “edge”, but the silver lining here is that EDGE is currently being offered at 80% off its regular price, and you can buy it now for just $0.99.
