ViacomCBS Wins Lawsuit Against 'SpongeBob'-Themed Pop-Up Bar in Houston for Trademark Infringement

Update (6/10/22) - A Texas federal judge has ordered an owner of a now-closed Rusty Krab pop-up restaurant and bar to fork over $6 million as part of an intellectual property suit from Viacom International over SpongeBob SquarePants. According to a Wednesday final judgment, U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr. awarded Viacom $6 million in copyright damages against Pixi Universal, which does business as Kefi HTX.

The decision — which ruled on a stipulated consent judgment and permanent injunction — said Pixi had to transfer certain website domain names to Viacom. For more on the outcome, visit Law360.

Houston pop-up restaurant and bar The Rusty Krab infringes ViacomCBS’s intellectual property rights in the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise, the company says in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Texas.

The SpongeBob SquarePants animated series has aired on Viacom’s Nickelodeon networks since 1999, and has spawned multiple feature films, a Broadway musical, video games, and more. ViacomCBS owns numerous federal trademark registrations related to the franchise, common law rights to character names and other series elements, and over 400 federal copyright registrations for SpongeBob-related works, the company says in its complaint.

The Rusty Krab bills itself as a SpongeBob SquarePants-inspired experience for the ultimate Bikini Bottom fan, complete with multi-room photo ops, daily activities like scavenger hunts, and tropical food and cocktails with names like chum nuggets (buffalo chicken bites) and Pinky the Star’s Hideaway, a drink make with peach Ciroc, Malibu and Sprite.

The Rusty Krab was opened by owner Sam Chand in the Capitol Loft area of Houston, Texas, the same space where a Harry Potter pop-up shop was opened years prior. The bar, by Pixi Universal, sells SpongeBob-themed food and drinks, but clarified that it was “not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Nickelodeon, or the SpongeBob brand directly,” according to a disclaimer. Instead, Chand describes it as an “artistic adaptation recreation of an amazing series that added value to our childhood.”

Pop-ups like the Rusty Krab try to circumvent copyright laws with sideways references to the original inspiration — Rusty Krab is of course a reference to Krusty Krab, the fictional fast food restaurant on the show. Instead of Squidward, the Rusty Krab’s dour cashier is named Octoword. Patrick Star is referred to as Pinky, and SpongeBob himself is known instead as “The Big Sponge.”

However, ViacomCBS, which owns the rights to all SpongeBob IP, is suing the Rusty Krab over allegations of trademark infringement by using names, images, characters and re-creations from the show throughout its restaurant and on its menu, and according to the suit, even advertises the place as "Houston’s VERY FIRST Spongebob Squarepants Inspired Pop Up Restaurant and Bar!".

In a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court on August 11, Viacom alleges that the pop-up is “a bad-faith attempt to capitalize on the success of the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise,” arguing that the restaurant’s branding is specifically targeted towards children despite serving a menu of mostly alcoholic beverages. According to Viacom, associating any SpongeBob marks with alcohol is a violation of its licensing terms for any product, much less an unauthorized pop-up.

The lawsuit further alleges that the Rusty Krab’s use of trademarked SpongeBob imagery on its social media pages has deceived parents into thinking that the bar is officially affiliated with the show, and that it has received “numerous public complaints from concerned parents who, after paying high ticket prices believing they would get an authentic SpongeBob SquarePants experience, voiced disgust at the Infringing Restaurant’s purportedly unsanitary conditions and unsafe food.”

The media conglomerate has also accused the pop-up of illegal cybersquatting for using the phrase “rusty krab” in its domain name.

Among the many alleged infringements, Viacom says Rusty Krab's drink menu uses numerous well-known hallmarks of the beloved animated series -- like "Pineapple Under the Sea," "Bikini Bottom," "Secret Formula" and "I’m Ready" -- to sell alcohol, which Viacom claims would violate its licensing policy for the trademarks on its kid’s show.

Numerous social media reviews of the pop-up refer to high ticket prices on top of additional charges for middling food and drinks, mandatory 18% gratuity even for small parties, plus worn and dirty costumes, soiled couches, insulation hanging from holes in the ceiling, and other issues.

Chand explained that he only opened the pop-up bar for people to have fun and enjoy the space that he created using the popular kids show properties.

“The most important thing for me is for people to have fun here. They spend a lot of money to come through. We have people traveling from out of state just to experience this,” he says. “I want them to be satisfied with the photo ops, the exhibits, the interactive games, the food and drinks — the whole enchilada.”

Viacom argues that these conditions harm the “trusted Nickelodeon brand,” and have asked that the pop-up’s parent company, Pixi Universal, immediately cease using any SpongeBob imagery, trademarks, or names affiliated with the show. The company also seeks $350,000 in compensatory damages, any profits from the restaurant’s sales, and a 10 percent royalty fee. The company is also suing to stop the pop-up shop from doing further business.

Viacom apparently first sent a cease-and-desist to Pixi on May 25, before the lawsuit was filed. The very next day, the restaurant announced it was extending its run through August 1. As of press time, tickets for the pop-up are now available through the end of 2021.

A disclaimer on the Rusty Krab’s website reads thusly: “We are not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Nickelodeon, or the Spongebob brand directly, or any of its subsidiaries or its affiliates. This is Kefi HTX’s artistic adaptation recreation of an amazing series that added value to our childhood!”

This isn’t the first time that Viacom has sued a Houston-area restaurant over its use of SpongeBob’s image. In 2017, the company sued a pop-up called the Krusty Krab before it could even open its doors in Kemah. In that case, the restaurant owner claimed that he’d never heard of SpongeBob, and decided it “wasn’t a big enough deal” to reconsider changing the name.

TMZ, who first reported on the lawsuit, spoke to Sanju “Sam” Chand, the owner of the pop-up. Chand said the bar was intended strictly as a parody, and that there has been no consumer confusion.

Chand’s company has not yet responded to the lawsuit in court.

The complaint can be read in full here.

Paramount Wraps Up Latinx Ex-Nickelodeon Exec's Race Bias Suit

ViacomCBS has been accused in a federal racial discrimination lawsuit of stereotyping a former employee as a “dumb Latina” and denying her career advancement, TheWrap is reporting.

Update (5/11) - Paramount Global/ViacomCBS has reached a deal to resolve a New York federal lawsuit from a former Nickelodeon employee who said she was pigeonholed as a "dumb Latina," made to do menial housekeeping. The full story can be read on Law360 (paid subscription required).

The employee, Patricia Senior, worked in the consumer products division from 2016 until 2020. She began as a director in consumer products planning for Nickelodeon. In the lawsuit, Senior says she faced rampant discrimination including that her bosses initially didn’t think she could speak fluent English. She further claims that she was fired for complaining about being discriminated against.

“At ViacomCBS, however, Senior was stereotyped as a ‘dumb Latina,’ prohibited from writing emails to her boss; consigned to doing clerical work and housekeeping, notwithstanding her having a Master of Business Administration from Columbia University; denied repeated requests for more challenging assignments; blocked from well-deserved professional advancement; subjected to unjust criticism; and, when she complained about the unrelenting discrimination, fired in retaliation,” the lawsuit says.

Senior said that on her first day, a vice president she reported to, Richard Morris, “had her sit beside him while he dictated emails for her to send to SVP [Andrea] Fasulo and other executives.” The lawsuit continued that after a month she was not allowed to email Fasulo directly over what was described as “minor grammatical mistakes.”

“Other Consumer Products Marketing team members who sent emails with spelling and grammatical errors were not punished in the same way, if at all,” the lawsuit continued.

Senior adds in the lawsuit that she, along with many other Latinx employees at ViacomCBS, were denied “well-deserved promotions, passed over for professional opportunities, and made to do unskilled housework and menial work beneath their respective job titles.”

ViacomCBS did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

Nickeldeon ha anunciado que el próximo lunes 18 de abril a las 18:30h estrenará 'Star Trek: Prodigy', la nueva serie animada de la franquicia. 

La serie sigue a una tripulación de jóvenes alienígenas que toma el control de una nave abandonada de la Flota Estelar para buscar un futuro mejor en una lejana galaxia. Así, durante su trepidante viaje intergaláctico, aprenderán a trabajar juntos y, sin quererlo, formarán la familia que siempre habían deseado.

Eso sí, por suerte no estarán solos, ya que contarán con la ayuda del holograma de la capitana Janeway, basada en la figura de la verdadera capitana de la U.S.S Voyager años atrás, que los guiará por la Vía Láctea.

Sin embargo, estos valientes jóvenes alienígenas tendrán que hacer frente a numerosos problemas durante su viaje, que irán desde intentar poner a salvo a la nave de una posible colisión cósmica, hasta enfrentarse con El Adivino, el villano que controla el asteroide Tars Lamora y cuya hija, Gwyn, han retenido como rehén para intentar seguir con vida. Pero el trabajo en equipo hará que poco a poco empiecen a entenderse los unos a los otros para acabar convirtiéndose en una auténtica familia.

Pluto TV to Launch in the Nordics on May 18

Pluto TV will debut as the first free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service in the Nordics with more than 70 curated and exclusive channels per market

STOCKHOLM, COPENHAGEN, OSLO—Paramount Global has announced that it'll launch Pluto TV, the company's free ad-supported streaming television service in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway on May 18. Pluto TV will debut as the first free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service in the Nordics with more than 70 curated and exclusive channels per market.

Pluto TV in Nordics will offer 210 original channels across multiple genres, including movies, TV series, reality, children's programming, sports, news, and more upon launch. Content includes iconic titles from Paramount’s library, such as Dora the Explorer, Catfish: The TV Show, and South Park, and movies channels including action, comedy, and thrillers.

In addition, a new extended on-demand free section powered by Viafree will include the best local series and popular reality shows, such as Frozen Roads, MasterChef DK and Amazing Makeovers. The service will also have content from multiple international partners, to be announced soon.

In the Nordics, Pluto TV content will be subtitled in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, with some dubbing on children’s shows.

“Pluto TV in Nordics has an exclusive proposition,” explained Olivier Jollet, General Manager (GM) and Senior Vice President (SVP), Pluto TV International. “For the first time, we’re combining the streaming linear TV model that has already enchanted American and European consumers, with a new extended on-demand section powered by Viafree to offer the best of international and local content in one service. I’m confident that Pluto TV will capture the attention of the Nordics markets and consumers, quickly becoming a new destination both for fans of curated content as well as for clients and partners interested in investing in a new and unique streaming service.”

Lars Mossing, Senior Vice President, Ad Sales, NENT Group added that “We are looking forward to Pluto TV’s Nordic launch on 18 May. Viewers will be able to enjoy popular Viafree formats as part of Pluto TV’s offering, while we are able to offer advertisers an attractive proposition as the platform’s advertising sales partner in the region.”

NENT Group serves as Pluto TV’s exclusive advertising sales partner in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.

Pluto TV will be available on all major streaming devices (TV, smartphone, tablet, PC) via the Pluto TV browser www.Pluto.tv, via app on Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Samsung, LG and the iOS and Android apps available on the Apple Store and Google Play.

In a Broadband TV News interview, Olivier Jollet, GM and SVP Pluto TV International, said the relationship with Viafree and NENT was an important part of the proposition. NENT will be responsible for advertising sales, using established relationships within the sales houses, and is contributing a number of local titles to the service “Because the Pluto TV inventory is full screen, multiple usage taking place on the big screen through connected TV devices, we really have the opportunity to bring ads which have the impact of TV ads but with the capability of digital measurement targeting and so on.”

Significantly, Viaplay’s own free streaming service will close, giving Pluto TV a free run.

“What is really transformative in the case of the Nordics launch is that ViaFree will disappear as a platform and everything will be consolidating integrated with Pluto TV,” explains Jollet. NENT will also sell the advertising on the venture, as part of what Jollet describes as a “win-win” partnership. “Paramount is able to bring really all the best of the US content, a lot of our own house content from MTV, Nick, the Paramount movies and so on. And at the same time, we’ll have the best local content coming from NENT.”

In the UK, Pluto TV benefits from content from the Paramount Global-owned Channel 5. However, the terrestrial broadcaster also maintains its own streaming service, Demand 5.

Jollet says it’s about finding the right balance between international content and local content. “Pluto TV is a new kind of TV and reality TV has always been local in every region where we launch and in the Nordics we have the chance to partner with NENT, which is a fabulous content producer in the region.”

The intention is to reproduce the partnership model further as Pluto rolls out further. “We either have the opportunity to compete against each other for the free streaming market or to build a kind of giant in the regions and a strong player by joining forces.

“This model is something that we can reproduce we see in almost all the European market, some T- VOD platforms doing well, but limited to the audience of the channel with a little bit of an incremental audience. Pluto TV is broader in terms of target group and can offer a range of content, trying to re-create the TV landscape, and making our product available for any kind of user”.

Pluto will be available across all major devices, including Samsung, LG connected TVs, Android on Chromecast, and iOS devices including Apple TV.

Channel 5 Axes Aussie Soap 'Neighbours' [Update: Australian Soap Cancelled]

Australian soap opera Neighbours has been a fixture in UK TV schedules for decades

Update (3/3) - Neighbours has been axed for good after Fremantle Media failed to find a new home for the Australian soap. Neighbours will end this summer after four decades on our screens.

Neighbours has been axed by its UK broadcaster Channel 5 - prompting moves to find a new production partner for the soap.

The beloved Australian soap opera, which follows the lives of residents on the fictional Ramsay Street, began airing in 1985 and has been pivotal in the careers of many A-list stars.

The likes of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Guy Pearce, Liam Hemsworth, and Margot Robbie all had big career starts on Ramsay Street.

Neighbours - which is the longest-running drama series on Australian television - is still reported to bring in 1.5 million viewers in the UK each day it airs. It had begun airing in the UK in 1986 on BBC One before moving to Channel 5 in 2008. The soap also aired briefly on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland in 2016.

Despite the soap’s continued popularity with UK viewers, UK broadcaster and soap production partner Channel 5 will no longer be airing or contributing to the soap from the summer onwards.

The news comes following a report that the soap was facing being axed by the broadcaster, which is understood to have been the primary financial backer for Neighbours.

A Channel 5 spokesperson confirmed to RadioTimes.com: “Neighbours will no longer air on Channel 5 beyond this summer. 

“It’s been a much-loved part of our schedule for more than a decade, and we’d like to thank the cast, Fremantle and all of the production team for their fantastic work on this iconic series. 

“We’d also of course like to thank the fans for their loyal support of Neighbours across the years. We recognise that there will be disappointment about this decision, however our current focus is on increasing our investment in original UK drama, which has strong appeal for our viewers.”

Despite the soap being axed by Channel 5, its Australian broadcaster Network 10 is optimistic that production company Fremantle will find a new production partner to help the show continue.

A Network 10 spokesperson said in a statement: “As outlined in the email to Neighbours cast and crew, it is our intention to continue our association with Neighbours if another broadcast partner comes forward. 

“Network 10 has an ongoing commitment to the show, the cast and crew and is hopeful that Fremantle will find a new production partner. 

“We will provide further updates as they become available.”

Network 10 and Channel 5 are both owned by ViacomCBS.

RadioTimes.com has reached out to production company Fremantle for further comment on this story.

Fans of the soap have already begun using #SaveNeighbours on social media in a bid to encourage support for the soap's survival.

Neighbours usually airs on Channel 5 on weekdays at 1.45pm. A repeat of the episode also airs later in the day at 5.30pm.
