Rainbow Six 'copy' lands Apple and Google in copyright court
Ubisoft is suing Apple and Google over a Chinese mobile game it says is "a near carbon copy" of one of its most popular games, Rainbow Six: Siege. Characters, game modes, game maps, animations, and even the user interface were copied, the document alleges. "But rather than take any measures to stop or curtail the infringement Google and Apple instead decided that it would be more profitable to collect their revenue share from AF2 and continue their unlawful distribution," Ubisoft says in its court filing. Its submissions to the court also say Rainbow Six: Siege, released in 2015, is "Among Ubisoft's most valuable game properties", with three million players every day. Ubisoft is seeking a jury trial over the alleged copyright infringement, in the Central District Court of California.
