2017年9月，鸿图公司在中国推出“空天战队”衍生玩具，涉嫌侵犯斯平玛斯特热销玩具“爆丸”相关的专利权。
2018年3月，斯平玛斯特将鸿图公司及其他三被告共同诉至杭州市中级人民法院。一审中，法院认定被控“空天战队”玩具落入斯平玛斯特专利权保护范围，从而构成专利侵权。法院判令被告立即停止“空天战队”玩具的生产、销售，并赔偿斯平玛斯特经济损失共计人民币30万元。鸿图公司于2019年4月上诉至浙江省高级人民法院。现该案已作出终审判决，维持一审判决。
斯平玛斯特全球总裁兼首席运营官Ben Gadbois表示，“斯平玛斯特希望对手尊重我们的知识产权，一旦发现侵权行为，我们将采取强有力的措施。”斯平玛斯特总法律顾问兼公司秘书Chris Harrs补充道，“鉴于斯平玛斯特计划在中国发行“爆丸”动画系列并推出衍生玩具，我们非常高兴“爆丸”玩具专利的有效性及可执行性得到检验，我们认为这将给未来的维权工作带来极大便利。”
关于斯平玛斯特及“爆丸”
2007年，斯平玛斯特与日本世嘉玩具、TMS及Nelvana合作推出《爆丸》动画片。“爆丸”玩具作为该片的主要衍生品也受到全球儿童的热捧，斯平玛斯特在全球范围内申请、登记了多种知识产权以保护“爆丸”。
在过去的十年间，斯平玛斯特不遗余力地保护“爆丸”产品的知识产权，在全球范围内对多个试图抄袭“爆丸”知识产权的竞争对手提起民事诉讼，迄今已取得了显著成效。曾有竞争对手向中国专利复审委员会提起专利无效，试图阻碍斯平玛斯特进行维权。最终复审委员会经过审查，驳回了无效申请，肯定了“爆丸”专利的稳定性。
2019年，斯平玛斯特在全球范围内重新推出“爆丸”系列动画及玩具。

Spin Master’s "Bakugan" Patent Case Victory in China
Spin Master Corp. (TSX:TOY; www.spinmaster.com), a leading global children’s entertainment company, announced today that it has recently received a final judgement in its favour in a patent case against Suzhou HONGTU Film Animation Co., Ltd.(“Hongtu”). Spin Master succeeded in its claim that Hongtu infringed Spin Master’s Bakugan patent with its derivative “Sky Warrior” toys.
In September 2017, Hongtu launched the “Sky Warrior” derivative toy in China, infringing Spin Master’s patent rights relating to the popular Bakugan toy.
In March 2018, Spin Master filed a lawsuit in the Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court against Hongtu and the other 3 defendants. In the first instance, the Court ruled that the “Sky Warrior” toys fall within the scope of Spin Master’s patent and therefore constituted patent infringements. The Court ordered the defendants to cease all production and sale of the “Sky Warrior” toy and awarded Spin Master RMB 300,000 (approx. USD 44,100) in compensation. Hongtu appealed to the Zhejiang Higher Peoples Court in April 2019. The Court has now issued a final judgment which affirmed the first instance decision.
Ben Gadbois, Spin Master’s Global President and COO stated: “Spin Master expects its competitors to respect Spin Master’s intellectual property and we will take forceful steps if we believe our rights are being infringed.” Chris Harrs, Spin Master’s General Counsel and Corporate Secretary added “Given Spin Master’s plans to distribute the TV series in China and sell the associated toys, we are very pleased that the validity and enforceability of the Bakugan patent has been tested as we would expect that such positive results will make our future enforcement efforts easier.”
About Spin Master and "Bakugan"
In 2007, in collaboration with Sega Toys, TMS and Nelvana, Spin Master released the Bakugan TV show. As the main derivative product of the animation, the Bakugan toys were widely welcomed by kids around the world. Spin Master filed various IP rights globally to protect Bakugan.
In the past 10 years, Spin Master has spared no effort to protect its Bakugan IP rights and has filed civil lawsuits globally against many competitors who attempted to infringe the Bakugan IP. So far, Spin Master has achieved meaningful success. The Bakugan patent rights have also withstood attempts by competitors to invalidate them before the China Patent Reexamination Board. Ultimately the Board dismissed all such attempted invalidations and affirmed the strength of the Bakugan patent.
In 2019, Spin Master relaunched the Bakugan TV show and toys globally.
