The publisher who is the owner of the copyrights to the
"Smurf" cartoon characters served notice on a publisher
who had used Smurf images in a schoolbook. The case gained public
attention because the Smurf images were used in a schoolbook to
describe the communist regime, comparing it to the characters'
life in their village.
It was learned that the Smurf copyrights owner is seeking
economic indemnification and for the other publisher to withdraw
the schoolbook from the market, while the latter has expressed its
willingness to remove the image from the next edition of the book
but without agreeing to take it out of circulation as
published.
