Pixar Settles Luxo Jr DisputePosted: November 5th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Two decades ago, Pixar's John Lasseter created an animated short, called "Luxo Jr," based on his Luxo desk lamp. The short went on to get an Oscar nomination and the lamp has become an iconic mascot for the studio.
Then two months ago, Disney/Pixar decided to package a limited-edition "Luxo Jr" lamp with the Blu-ray version of "Up." The Norwegian lamp manufacturer Luxa AS wasn't happy that Disney got into the business of selling their lamps and filed a lawsuit against the studio for trademark infringement.
Now, THR has learned that the parties have reached an amicable settlement and the lawsuit has been withdrawn. Disney will stop selling lamps and Luxo AS will continue letting Pixar use the character.

LAME. jesus, Luxa ASS, are you so bored with selling lamps that a lawsuit against a company that would probably rip you a new hole sounded like fun??? its not like they packaged Luxo Jr with a DVD/Blu-ray box set about "The Wonders of Rape"...

Disney can afford it. You should have raped them in lawsuits. I want to sue them for enslaving vocally/musically inclined children.

Wouldn't it suck to be a high ranking official at Luxo AS and worry about lamp infringement?
I would have to shoot myself.
