The End of the Brick Wall App

Submitted by Vincent Catalano on Thu, 07/23/2009 - 14:49

I recieved an email today from The Facebook Team about my Brick Wall App and its violation of Facebook trademark. Here is that email:
 

To the developer of The Brick Wall (6491652849):

During an automated check, our system found that your application name contains a variation on the disallowed term "wall."  Application names may not contain Facebook trademarks without the express prior written permission of Facebook.

Please change your application name within two weeks of receiving this email.  Failure to comply will result in our system automatically changing your application name to "Unnamed Application #6491652849"

If you believe your application name has been selected in error, please contact us through the Developer Help form at [redacted].

Thanks,
The Facebook Team 

So, today I have decided that I will now be taking down the Brick Wall App. Facebook has changed its layout and I believe that the application no longer serves any purpose (if you can say a picture of a brick wall even had any purpose). I would also like to thank all of its fans for your loyal support. The application wouldn't have been made possible without all of you.

Thank you all,
Brick Wall App Development Team

the brick wall app and my mafia wars names

Well I think that maybe I will probably be getting emails like this too. I have/had a few mafia wars names with names like "view and accept". Thanks for the app though. was fun while it lasted.

Couldn't the name be changed to Brickwall? This one would be in the dictionary and I believe free to use. just my 2cents. goodluck and have a great week.
