New brand case! Don’t touch popular patterns

In addition to GBC, Keith Law Firm is also a frequent client in the cross-border circle, and currently represents more than 50 brands. Recently, Keith Law Firm represented two new brands. Compared with previous cases, these two brands are both copyright infringement issues, namely Balazs Solti and Lil Bub.

Balazs Solti

Balazs Solti is an illustrator from Hungary. Many of his works are related to animals, or more like anthropomorphic animals, combining modern design and pop culture, with a sense of humor and unique ideas. The T-shirts designed in his unique style are very popular.

Here are some of his works on his official website:

If you search for T-shirts on Amazon , you can also see his related works, but sellers should be aware that Balazs Solti's works are all copyrighted and must not be copied. For example, the classic panda pattern has been copyrighted since 2017.

Balazs Solti has filed two cases on September 15th . The cases have just been filed and the freezing has not started yet. The relevant sellers should conduct self-inspection and immediately remove the products if any infringement is involved.

Lil Bub

Lil Bub is an internet celebrity kitten from the United States. He suffers from an extreme form of feline dwarfism, which causes his limbs and jaws to be very small compared to the rest of his body. His short jaws force him to stick his tongue out. Lil Bub has been fighting the disease, and has gained millions of fans with his cute tongue-out appearance and strong will.

Due to its popularity, its owner set up an animal protection fund and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help other small animals. In December 2019, the cat returned to its home planet.

Although he has left us, his strong will has inspired many people and is still often remembered by everyone. Moreover, Lil Bub also has copyright. Whether it is for liking or for the sake of popularity, sellers must remember that Lil Bub's pattern cannot be used.

In addition to Lil Bub, there are many other cute pets that are popular on the Internet, and most of them are copyrighted, so sellers should be careful to avoid them.

Whether it is copyright, trademark or various patents, popular brands bring their own traffic. Since it is the traffic password, the majority of sellers cannot afford to take advantage of this traffic, so they must not be lucky.
