In April 2018, WWE, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc, 2K Games Inc, 2K Sports Inc, Visual Concepts Entertainment, Yukes Co Ltd, and Yukes LA Inc were all named in a lawsuit brought by Catherine Alexander, Orton’s tattoo artist. She argued that by including Orton’s tattoos, they had violated her copyright.
According to the most recent information, the case will finally go to trial at the US District Court Southern District of Illinois on Monday, September 26, following a pre-trial hearing today, September 19, at that location. This emerges after the trial was repeatedly postponed, primarily because of COVID-19; it was originally scheduled for June 2020. This case is significant because the outcome could create a framework for using people’s tattoo designs in video games.
