Carlsbadistan-based trading card giant The Upper Deck is reportedly going to court on January 26, 2010 for allegedly counterfeiting 60,000 Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards, according to a story in the North County Times.
In 2008, Konami Digital Entertainment, maker of the popular card game, brought a civil suit accusing Upper Deck of copyright infringement and counterfeiting their cards. Several Upper Deck executives refused to testify, but there was still undisputed testimony confirming that the company had manufactured fake cards, a statement from Konami said.
What a wonderful way to negotiate licensing fees. Nice that we tax payers can get involved, huh?
