Warner Bros., the entertainment force behind the Harry Potterfilms, is suing a Swiss condom maker for copyright infringement over the condom brand name Harry Popper.
Gawker brings news of the lawsuit via translation from the Swiss newspaper Bote:
"The lawyer of the film Giant, 'Everyone who sees condoms from thinks automatically of Harry Potter.' No one could seriously argue the opposite. Deliberately feed on the sex shop from the image of magician's apprentice: youthfulness, magic. On the package a signed Pariserli swings glad his wand. The unmistakable Rundbrille not missing. The condom-seller extended-range Popper be gradually since 2006, a successful product.
"'If this does not stop the court, there is a wildfire,' cautioned the applicant's lawyer. For Warner Brothers is obvious: The sorcerer Harry Potter have a 'very positive image.' Condoms have no business there. Especially not now. According to Warner Bros. in November to plan the launch of the new Potter movie. Also a new video game is in preparation. The lawyer for Warner Bros. bluntly: 'The image of my client is in danger.'"
