The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois announced its judgement in favor of TV Tokyo Corporation in its trademark infringement lawsuit on December 18.
The judgement order, in addition to ordering the defendants to stop using Naruto trademarks and passing off products as genuine, also asked each defendant to pay TV Tokyo US$50,000.
The Naruto franchise includes multiple television anime, anime films, and original video anime.
Seven of the cases are ongoing, but in the 10 closed cases, TV Tokyo has won all of them.
