Don’t forget that trademarks apply only within a defined area of trade. Zynga might reasonably end up strongly owning the trademark in the domain of social-network-y computer games named in the format “(word) with friends”; less strongly owning on social-network-y computer programs other than games, on non-social-network-y computer games, or on board games; and very tenuously if at all outside those realms.
