Tetris Elements For Mac
Quinn, a networkable freeware Mac OS X variation on the classic arcade game Tetris, has been pulled from distribution at the behest of The Tetris Company, current owners of the Tetris trademark. Developed by and Chris Wells, Quinn features similar gameplay mechanics to Tetris — falling blocks arranged in different geometric shapes must be assembled into complete vertical rows; once completed, the rows disperse and points are awarded.

The game features customizable graphics and multiplayer network support. (For more information, read Macworld’s.) According to a post from Wells made to the Web site, lawyers representing The Tetris Company have told the developers to remove Quinn from distribution. The New York-based law firm, Norris McLaughlin & Marcus, PA, claim that Quinn violates copyrighted features in Tetris, including the movements of the brick playing pieces, their shapes, scoring features and other elements in Quinn. Wells said that he and Haertel aren’t the first developers to receive threats from the Tetris trademark owners. “In fact, this is not the first time Simon has been bullied by this company and it seems the mere fact that I live in the United States represents a much clearer path for The Tetris Company to push us around,” said Wells. This story, 'Mac OS X Tetris clone gets shut down' was originally published.
TLDR (SPOILERS); He was the co creator and him and the main creator couldn't make money from the title because it was made in Russia on work equipment. They later moved to the US and started a new company.

The main creator later got ownership of the Tetris title when the copyright expired and so he started a company with it. The co-creator stayed at the other company, which was eventually floundering. He used a knife and hammer to kill his wife, 12-year old son, then himself. Two weeks later the floundering company was offered an influx of money. The developers of the clone Mino had to pull their game because it was considered 'substantially similar' for copyright purposes. In general, game clones that resemble the original, even if they use all-original assets, are potentially infringing; see Atari v. TTC asserts copyright over all Tetris-type games, and also has trademarks on the suffix -tris, the Russian folk song Korobeiniki when used in a video game, and the shapes of the tetrominoes themselves.

Maybe someone can get a court ruling on whether the abstract concept of a tetromino game is copyrightable (pray it doesn't go before the CAFC), or get the vague trademarks overturned, but most unlicensed clone makers are wisely unwilling to die on the Tetris-clone hill. Do you have a source for the song being used is part of the trade dress?
