New York - Toymaker Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) has dropped its lawsuit against the makers of "Scrabulous," Web knock-off version of the classic board game "Scrabble" that became wildly popular on Facebook, the Associated Press reported.

Los Angeles - Scrabulous, the popular Web knock-off version of Hasbro's Scrabble on Facebook whose creators took the game down after being sued by Hasbro (NYSE: HAS), has relaunched on the social network as "Wordscraper," an essentially similar game that makes changes to its name and other characteristics. The move is no doubt aimed at testing the boundaries of copyright and trademark claims under current laws.
