Founder versus Blizzard

A 2007 court case accepted by the Beijing Higher People's Court. Quote: The9 Limited (NASDAQ: NCTY), operator of US game developer Blizzard Entertainment's online game World of Warcraft, said it is holding internal discussions over the case filed against Blizzard by Founder Electronics regarding patent on a character font used in the game. The9 declined to give further comment. Founder Electronics, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Founder Group, filed the lawsuit against Blizzard asking for compensation of 100 mln yuan (note: about 13 million US dollars). According to Founder Electronics, the Chinese edition of World of Warcraft has used the Chinese character font developed by Founder without its permission.
