Two Chinese companies must pay compensation to Disney Enterprises, Inc. and Pixar for intellectual property right infringement and unfair competition, according to a recent Shanghai court verdict.
根据上海法院最近的一项裁决，两家中国公司必须向迪士尼企业公司和皮克斯支付著作权侵权及不正当竞争行为的赔偿。
Disney Enterprises, Inc. and Pixar, holders of the copyrights of animated comedies "Cars" and "Cars 2" as well as the character images, sued G-Point in Beijing, and Bluemtv in Xiamen, after they found the images, title and posters of animated movie "The Autobots" resembled those of "Cars" and "Cars 2."
迪士尼企业公司和皮克斯是动画喜剧《赛车总动员》和《赛车总动员2》及其动画形象的版权持有人。在他们发现动画电影《汽车人总动员》的形象、标题和海报与《赛车总动员》和《赛车总动员2》类似之后，便起诉了北京基点影视文化传媒有限公司和厦门蓝火焰影视动漫有限公司。
The case was heard in Shanghai Pudong New District People's Court in June. The court ruled an immediate stop to the infringement act and ordered compensation of over 1.35 million yuan (194,440 US dollars).
该案于去年6月在上海浦东新区人民法院审理。该法院立即禁止了侵权行为，并下令赔偿金额135万元以上（194440美元）。
Bluemtv was asked to pay 1 million yuan to cover the plantiffs' economic losses, of which G-Point has joint liability for 800,000 yuan.
蓝火焰被要求支付100万元人民币以弥补原告的经济损失，其中基点有80万元的连带责任。
The two companies were also asked to pay 350,000 yuan to cover the legal expenses of the plaintiffs.
此外，这两家公司还需赔偿原告维权合理开支35万余元。
The court said the images of the main characters in "The Autobots" -- "K1" and "K2" -- infringed on the copyright of the characters "Lightening McQueen" and "Francesco Bernoulli" in "Cars" and "Cars 2."
法院方面表示，《汽车人总动员》的主要汽车动画形象“K1”及“K2”使用和剽窃了原告涉案电影中“闪电麦坤”及“法兰斯高”的形象。
The court said the Chinese title of the movie has a different meaning to the Disney productions and should not be seen as unfair competition, but the resemblance in the visual effect of the movie's name on the poster constitutes an act of unfair competition, although the overall design of the posters is different.
该法院称，这部电影的中文标题与迪士尼制作的电影含义有所不同，不应该被视为不公平竞争。但海报上电影名字的视觉效果的相似性构成了不公平竞争的行为，尽管整体海报的设计并不相同。
