Represented by Fish & Richardson and Duane Morris, the creator of a portly panda with a penchant for martial arts and an appetite for Chinese food has threatened to take a bite out of the profits from DreamWorks Animation’s hugely successful Kung Fu Panda movie.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal district court in Boston, illustrator Jayme Gordon claims that DreamWorks is infringing his copyrights on the idea of a chunky panda with kung fu prowess, as well as on several of the other animated animal characters featured in the studio’s Kung Fu Panda films.
