Rovio awarded $4.3M over fake Angry Birds toys

Angry Birds developer Rovio has won a major court case against copyright and trademark infringement.

The Finland-based studio filed the copyright case back in September, claiming that vending machine importer and operator Toy Amazon Corp. of Monterey Park, Calif., sold counterfeit Angry Birds products. Toy Amazon failed to present a defence, and U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest awarded Rovio $4.3 million for trademark and copyright infringement, reports Bloomberg.
