Eduard Uspensky, a well-known author of children’s books, lost a copyright infringement suit to animation studio Soyuzmultfilm. The studio sold, without Uspensky’s authorization, licenses to manufacture toys featuring the characters of animated movies based on Uspensky’s books and scripts, such as Cheburashka. Uspensky sued the studio, but the court found that the studio, not the writer, owns the exclusive rights to the use of the characters.
