DescriptionThe dispute over the feature film about Leopold the cat has reached the stage of a pre-litigation ultimatum. The American company Rubstein Properties, which acquired the rights to the Soviet brand, has filed a claim against the Russian producers and is threatening to derail the filming process. Previously, the Americans have regularly been involved in lawsuits in Russia with manufacturers of children’s products. Welcome Media Studio has no intention of backing down, stating that it acquired the rights to the literary source material from the heirs of the stories’ creator, Anatoly Reznikov. If the parties “cannot see eye to eye” and the pre-trial phase fails, the American side will proceed to legal action. The key question is whether the Moscow Arbitration Court will register an official lawsuit by the end of September.
ConditionsYes: if, between July 21 and September 30, 2026, inclusive, an official record appears in the electronic docket of the Moscow Arbitration Court regarding the filing of a complaint by Rubstein Properties (or its official representatives in the Russian Federation) against Welcome Media LLC (or against Dmitry Litvinov personally) appears in the electronic case file of the Moscow Arbitration Court.
No: if, during the period from July 21 through September 30, 2026, inclusive, an official lawsuit filed by the U.S. copyright holder is not registered in the Moscow Arbitration Court’s database.
