[android-developers] Re: Another developer has published an app using the EXACT same name as mine

I talked to a lawyer for similar reasons (someone used my name on a
different platform). Given the popularity of your app, if the other
guy hasn't been using this name before, you have a very clear case
even without a trademark. But it costs money. A C&D letter can easily
be $1000 and if the copycat doesn't cough up the money, you will have
to pay the lawyer.

But I would send a strongly worded letter to the developer first.

Here's the thing though: While the law is clearly on your side (that's
what my lawyer said), it is a whole different story to recover the
money. If he doesn't pay after the C&D, you need to go to court and
things become expensive then.
