Copyright Inquiry

Well since I don't really know who to contact for this I'll talk about it here and hopefully get some help. (an email or something would be nice to make a legit claim) 

There is a game that is stealing off of Battlefield concept and content wise. It's not necessarly a PC game but more mobile so it may be under EA's radar for looking for these kinds of things.The culprate is a game on the mobile market called Modern Combat 5. After playing Battlefield for the first time I noticed the similarities right away content wise. Modern Combat 5 recently added these new things in a recent update called "Combat Packs" and "Elite Packs" which drop Exp Boosters, weapon attachments, and some other things. If familar with Battlefield you probably would know what a Battle Pack is (MC5 took the concept from BF). The logo's for the Exp booster in Modern Combat 5 is almost an EXACT forgery to Battlefield's. Gameloft (the company in charge of the Modern Combat Series) has made a large proffit from these 'Packs'. I'm not sure this would be useful in a claim but after playing BF I've also noticed how the entire game (MC5) is set up like BF, with slight changes. There are 4 classes with set class weapons (in MC5) Sniper, Heavy (shotguns + Grenade), Assault, Recon (smgs). How does this copy BF (yea, I said I didn't know if this would be worth saying but still.)? Sniper (Mc5) = Recon (BF4), Heavy = Engineer (BF4), Assault (MC5) = Assault (BF4),Recon = Mechanic (BF Harline) + Engineer (Bf4 [without rpgs]). 

Well after reading my spiel you may be confused at what was was getting at. Like I said at the start is there any place I could contact with my concerns about this matter?

    Games have been copying each other's mechanics and building on them for ages.  There have been games with XP boosts, weapon attachments, packages of goods and all those classes well before BF4.

    To me the game reminds me more so of Call of Duty than it does Battlefield.  I've played MC alittle but not a CoD since 4.

    There are DotA clones, Team Fortress Clones, World of Tanks clones, War Thunder clones, Clash of Clans clones.. etc etc

    I'll pass this on to the CMs though.
