Ailing app-maker makes bid to revive flagging licensing business

Angry Birds creator Rovio today announced a deal with Denmark's Lego to launch a range of toys based on the hit mobile game, Reuters reported.

Finland-based Rovio made the deal at a time when the company is struggling to make money from the licensing of Angry Birds, the most downloaded paid mobile app of all time, as competing games such as Candy Crush and Minecraft grab the attention of mobile consumers.
