Famous Trademark Case to Learn From | IP Spotlight : Modern Dog Design vs. Target Corporation

0
In Intellectual Property Rights, Patent

In 2011, Seattle-based design firm Modern Dog filed a lawsuit against Target/Disney after their dog illustrations, featured in a 2008 compendium, were used on T-shirts without permission.

Modern Dog claims their designs were copied, with the large corporations profiting from them.

Despite no verdict yet, the case highlights the struggle many creatives face when their work is stolen by big corporations.

With mounting legal fees, Modern Dog was forced to sell their studio, revealing the severe financial toll that defending your intellectual property can have.
