Grumpy Cat wins big on Copyright Lawsuit

in #news7 years ago

The popular internet meme Grumpy Cat, better known for its permanent ''grumpy'' facial expression, has been awarded 710 000$ in a copyright lawsuit.



The court decision stems from a copyright infringement case against the Grenade beverage company for a "Grumpy Cat Grumpuccino" iced coffee line in 2013, over the unauthorized use of the meme to promote the product.

It appears that even memes have rights now...
