According to the complaint filed by Lucasfilm in the state federal court of California, the logo used by Lightsaber Academy infringes the trademark right of the Jedi logo, although it seems to have been well received by Star Wars fans It is said that there is. Below is the logo used in Lightsaber Academy and on the right is the logo of the Jedi trademark owned by Lucasfilm.


Mr. Brown asked Lucasfilm for permission to use the license with respect to the use of the logo, but Lucasfilm did not allow it. Lucasfilm repeatedly warned against the unauthorized use of the logo, but because he was unable to accept the warning, he said he has made a case of this case. The complaint states that Mr. Brown registered the trademark of the logo used in Lightsaber Academy.

Apart from this case, Lucasfilm, which has a super-large IP called Star Wars, has similar lawsuits throughout the world, and it is considered that appealing Mr. Brown is the most natural trend.
