Court Rules That Upper Deck Sold Counterfeit Yu Gi Oh! Cards

This could be a serious blow to Upperdeck going forward as it may limit their ability to get liscenses for other games just from having a bad reputation.  Full story is here: http://www.iptrademarkattorney.com/2010/01/counterfeit-trademark-yu-gi-oh-upper-deck-konami-copyright-summary-judgment-court-ruling.html

The facts were found - but I think the court hasn't ruled on the case is chief, yet.  I didn't read all of the links - so could be very wrong.

"The case is scheduled for trial on January 26, 2010. The case is Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. v. Vintage Sports Cards, Inc. et al."


In any case - looks like UDE could be in some serious PR doo-doo.

I'm curious to know what effect (if any) this has on UD's deal with Disney/Marvel...
