the day has come activision send me a infringing their trademark requesting me to take down all of my call of duty apps good bye call of duty

oh no sorry to hear :( everything? does the title of your app contain Call of Duty?

yes it does

I would email them and ask them in what way you could comply?. Im sure taking their trademark name out of the title is one and in the description of the app and any photos.. Contact them and see. Good luck!

Bummer -- be sure to tell us about the journey!

Wow - sorry to hear that. How long was it on the App Store? Is it still there for us to check out? I agree w/above comment. Perhaps if you change the name, they'll let you keep it.

its already down it was live for 6 months or so

Hacer, you should get in direct contact with them, since they sent a copyright takedown notice, apple, they, have to legally give you direct contact details to the person(s) that sent the official request. Like others mentioned, ask them what you can do to comply, let them know it's a fan based app, let them know you worked hard on them and that you would be more then willing to comply to any changes they may request to keep it live.

I got a takedown notice for my app as well - it was a countdown for the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts game. Definitely a bummer because it was a pretty decent source of income. I have gotten these before and I don't bother disputing them..I'm not going to go head to head with Activision and their giant pile of money. It's kind of a gamble with apps like this..companies like Rockstar are totally cool with fan made apps/websites, but clearly Activision is not. They used https://iplasso.com to send out takedown notices to all CoD apps in the App Store David's idea would be good, but in my experience these companies aren't that easy to get a hold of. I actually sent two emails to their legal division before I released my app to see if I could get written permission, but both emails were ignored.

yea it sucks but since they have there app now they dont want others to have similar apps ,i was doing ok with it so it doesn't hurt that much

I had a similar problem with one of my apps. When I probed apple, I was told there were specific words in the title of the app that were trademarked. Long story short, in the end I changed the app name and I was able to publish it again a few weeks later.
