NBC sued over fonts used in advertising
NBC sued over fonts used in advertising
This week, Boston-based design company Font Bureau filed a lawsuit against television network NBC for copyright infringement. Font Bureau says that NBC violated trademark and copyright law when it used fonts for which it did not hold licenses in its Fall marketing.
Font Bureau alleges that while NBC paid for one license, meaning the company could only install the fonts on a single computer, the network used the fonts on many computers. NBC is also said to have used fonts for which it never paid, according to the suit.
Font Bureau is suing NBC for "no less than $2 million" for illegal use of the fonts in marketing for Saturday Night Live, The Jay Leno Show, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. NBC is likely to settle the case.
