Grumpy Cat is not pleased. Her owners have asked a California federal court to issue a $600,000 (R8,773,530) judgment against a coffee maker which allegedly exploited their copyrights, reports TorrentFreak.
Grumpy Cat’s massive claim comes from her highly successful merchandising, selling everything from T-shirts to coffee mugs.
This includes the Grumpy Cat “Grumppuccino” iced coffee beverage, sold by the California company Grenade Beverage.
“The company licensed the copyright and trademarks to sell the iced coffee, but is otherwise not affiliated with the cat and its owners. Initially this partnership went well, but after the coffee maker started to sell other Grumpy Cat products, things turned bad.”
Grumpy Cat and her owner still hold the company responsible for its previous infringements. In their motion they list four copyrights, claiming the maximum of $150,000 in statutory damages for each.
