Take it off the shelves! The popular foreign Rubik's Cube suddenly infringed the copyright, and the law firm has filed a case

Since the beginning of this year , decompression toys have become popular overseas, and many hits have emerged. Currently, they are sold on multiple cross-border platforms and are very popular. Many sellers have also made a lot of money. The latest data from Google search trends shows that the popularity of decompression toys remains high, and the search volume continues to soar .

For sellers, decompression toys are undoubtedly a good market. However, toy sellers know that toy products have always had a high risk of infringement. Some sellers have suffered heavy losses from decompression toys such as fidget spinners, rat exterminators, and flipping octopuses. Recently, another popular decompression toy, the fidget cube, has started to cause infringements. Sellers should be careful.

Fidget Cube is also a newly popular product. It has already attracted infringement lawsuits and is represented by LYNCH THOMPSON LLP, the law firm that previously handled the infringement case of Rat Extermination Pioneer.

It is reported that on June 18, local time in the United States , the law firm THOMPSON LLP has officially filed a case, and the relevant sellers must immediately remove the products from the shelves and withdraw cash in a timely manner.

The case details are as follows ↓↓↓

Case Numbers: 21-cv-3289, 21-cv-3297

Case time: 2021/6/21

Plaintiff brand: FIDGET CUBE

Plaintiff: ANTSY LABS, LLC; ZURU INC.

LAW FIRM: LYNCH THOMPSON LLP

The Fidget Cube is different from ordinary Rubik's Cubes in that its six sides have different tools, such as switches, rollers, gears, joysticks, rotating discs, worry stones, and buttons, to help consumers relieve their irritability. With this feature, decompression toys are very popular with consumers, and the search volume once soared to 2,300%.

However, the popularity of this product is accompanied by a high risk of infringement. After searching, the editor found that the Fidget Cube not only has a word trademark, but also a patent for its appearance, which poses a great risk of infringement.

First of all, the words "FIDGTT CUBE BY ANTSY LARS" have been registered and are copyrighted. Without authorization, if the seller's product listing contains words related to "Fidget Cube", it will definitely cause infringement. In addition, its appearance has been patented in 2018.

Therefore, when listing products, sellers must be careful to check and avoid infringement. Sellers who are still selling the product should immediately remove the listing to prevent the store from being sued.
