"After seeing just how fast and well Weber’s design merchandise was selling, Tapout’s management crafted a scheme to obtain Weber’s original artwork so that it could freeze him out by having a different company manufacture the Weber-designed goods. After fraudulently obtaining Weber’s original artwork, Tapout manufactured and sold thousands of pieces of merchandise bearing Weber’s designs without his permission, and without payment for the use of his artwork.
The lawsuit is pending in the Superior Court of California in San Bernardino County."
