Los Angeles, CA A copyright and trademark infringement lawsuit was filed against Warner Bros. and 5th Cell Media, the creators of the Scribblenauts videogame, by attorneys for Charles Schmidt creator of the Keyboard Cat meme and Christopher Orlando Torres creator of Nyan Cat meme.
Keyboard Cat is a video of Schmidts cat, Fatso, wearing a shirt and playing an electronic keyboard with its pause. The meme, which is a communication of ideas or information, has gone viral, receiving over thirty million YouTube hits. Schmidt has registered the videos copyright with the US Copyright and has two pending trademark application for the term Keyboard Cat, click to see the first trademark application and the second trademark application. Keyboard Cats stardom has led to numerous appearances in commercials, including a feature role in a national Starburst candy television commercial.
Nyan Cat is a cartoon character with a cats face with a Pop Tarts body, basically a pink frosting sprinkled horizontal breakfast bar with glitter and a rainbow flowing therefrom. The GIF animation has also gone viral and it was the fifth most-watched video on YouTube in 2011, winning the 2012 Webbys Meme of the Year award. Torres also registered the copyright in the animated GIF with the US Copyright Office. Torres has also filed a trademark application to register the Nyan Cat word mark with the US Patent & Trademark Office.
Plaintiffs accuse Warner Bros and 5th Cell of including, without any licenses or authorizations, the Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat characters in their original Scribblenauts videogame released in 2009, the 2010 Super Scribblenauts, 2011 Scribblenauts Remix, and the 2012 Scribblenauts Unlimited. Defendants are accused of shamelessly using identifying Nyan Cat and Keyboard Cat by name to promote and market their games. Plaintiffs claim that Warner Bros and 5th Cells trademark infringement was willful and intentional and are requesting an award of treble damages and requesting the case be deemed exception under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), thereby entitling Plaintiffs to an award of reasonable attorneys fees.
But it looks like this isn´t such a good case..
Plaintiffs, however, mistakenly demand statutory damages and an enhancement of damages under 17 U.S.C. § 504, and mistakenly believe that they are entitled to attorneys fees and costs of suit under 17 U.S.C. § 505. Defendants are accused of infringing both copyrights in their initial 2009 release of the video games and neither copyright was registered until 2010. Thus, neither Plaintiff is entitled to statutory damages or attorneys fees, a prerequisite of which per 17 U.S.C. § 412 is either registration before commencement of any infringement or within three months after the first publication of the copyrighted work. Further, both the Keyboard Cat video and the Nyan Cat video were published over five years before the application to register the copyrights were filed, thus they are not entitled to a presumption of validity afforded by 17 U.S.C. § 410(c).
