BabyBus, has been recognized as the Number 1 Verdict in California of 2023 for Copyright Infringement, as published by Top Verdict, see the list published here.  This follows Top Verdict’s prior recognition of that same verdict as one of the top 50 verdicts overall in California in 2023.   

Tyz Law Group successfully represented the creators of the hit children’s series, CoComelon, Moonbug Entertainment Limited and Treasure Studio, Inc., in a case centered on BabyBus’s unauthorized knock-off of CoComelon’s unique characters and musical compositions.  After a protracted legal battle in the Northern District of California, the jury returned its verdict finding BabyBus liable for willfully infringing dozens of Moonbug’s registered copyrights and awarding Moonbug nearly $23.5 million in damages ($17.6 million in actual damages and disgorged profits, as well as $5.8 million in statutory damages electable in the alternative).  On May 15, 2024, the Court denied Defendant BabyBus’s post-trial motions, including its Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law and Motion for a New Trial, in their entirety.    

The recognition of this verdict as the Number 1 Verdict of 2023 in a Copyright Infringement case underscores its significance as well as Tyz Law Group’s results-oriented approach.
