Ivanovo entrepreneur will pay for cartoon heroes

We are talking about the popular cartoon “Three Cats” among children.

His characters Kompot, Korzhik and Karamelka without registration of a license agreement were used for commercial purposes during entertainment events.

The Leninsky District Court of the city of Ivanov fully supported the demand of JSC Network of Television Stations, qualifying the actions of the entrepreneur as unfair competition and a direct violation of the Civil Code.

The defendant was obliged not only to stop using intellectual property, but also to pay monetary compensation.
