Two major film and television works are protecting their rights, and some sellers have received freezing notices

Among intellectual property infringement cases, trademark infringement is the most common, but patents and copyrights should also be avoided. Recently, two major film and television works have begun to protect their rights, namely " American PSYCHO" and Booba .

AMERICAN PSYCHO

" AMERICAN PSYCHO" is an American film released in 2000. It describes the urban life in the United States in the late 1980s and is a black social satire. The hero in the film is a hot stockbroker on Wall Street during the day, but when night falls, the darkness awakens the other side of the hero's dual personality and commits a "serial murder case."

It is such an old movie that has recently launched a rights protection campaign, and some Amazon sellers have received a freeze notice . The first is the word trademark "AMERICAN PSYCHO". After the editor's inquiry, the first trademark registered in 2001 expired, and the other trademarks were just registered this year. It seems that it is specially for rights protection. If the seller has any related infringement, remember to remove it from the shelves in time.

In addition to trademark rights, the characters in the movie are also copyrighted, so sellers should be careful to avoid it. Some time ago, an old movie also started to protect its rights. Sellers should be careful not to think that it is a safe zone just because it is old.

Booba

" Booba" is an early childhood education animation that is popular across the United States and is also one of the most popular animations on YouTube. The main character, Fluffy, is very silly and cute. While entertaining, it can also help children develop their thinking abilities .

Moreover, the company also has an official store on Amazon, which sells some T-shirts and other peripheral products. Recently, the company to which it belongs, 3D Sparrow Group, has started to protect its rights, and some Amazon sellers have also received a freeze notice. According to inquiries, in addition to the word trademark "BOOBA", it also has the following two pattern trademarks, and sellers should be careful to avoid them.

Since it is a cartoon, it is copyrighted. The other characters in it should not be used casually , as this would constitute infringement.

There have been quite a few copyright infringement cases recently, so sellers should be careful to check and avoid them.
