Yesterday we talked about how the social network gaming company Zynga was having a rough time of things. Now we are hearing that they could be pulling off a desperation move by suing another company over trademark infringement. The culprit here is the developer behind the adult app Bang with Friends (who has the same name as the app).

Pincus earlier this month stepped down from CEO position, leaving it to Don Mattrick, a former Microsoft's chief for Xbox.
