SEOUL, South Korea, March 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

In 2016, Spin Master filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Mecard in the 
Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court in China, alleging that Mecard infringed 
a patent related to Spin Master's Bakugan toy. In the trial, the Court ruled 
that Mecard toys do not infringe Spin Master's Bakugan patent and accordingly 
dismissed Spin Master's patent infringement lawsuit. Spin Master appealed, but 
the Court affirmed the trial decision, making the decision final and not 
appealable. With no more appeals remaining, and after litigating for nearly 
three years in China, Mecard has finally won a complete victory with respect to 
Spin Master's Bakugan patent. Spin Master's litigation campaign against Mecard 
in China has now come to an end.  

"Choirock owns patents related to the world's first mechanism for transforming 
a toy by lifting up a card, the bottom surface of which is exposed after 
transformation," stated a representative of  Choirock, the South Korean company 
that owns the Mecard intellectual property and patents. "Mecard is the 
best-selling toy brand in Korea. Choirock has exerted every effort to protect 
our innovative transforming mechanism around the world and will continue to 
strengthen our intellectual property. Choirock expects our competitors to 
respect our intellectual property and will take strong measures against any 
infringer of Choirock's intellectual property."
