Ubisoft has filed a lawsuit against Apple and Google for what it says is a "near carbon copy" of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege currently being sold for iOS and Android smart devices.
Filing the complaint on Friday 15th May in Los Angeles, California, Ubisoft said it had notified Apple and Google that the mobile game Area F2 is infringing upon the copyright of its tentpole shooter franchise, but says the companies have refused to remove the game from their respective digital marketplaces, the App Store and Google Play.
According to Bloomberg, Ubisoft insists that the similarities are so great they cannot "seriously be disputed" and "Ubisoft's competitors are constantly looking for ways to piggyback on R6S's popularity and to capture the attention, and money, of R6S players".
