On May 28th, Nezha was sued for violating the right of adaptation of Five-dimensional Memory, and the conclusion was reached.

The Beijing Intellectual Property Court held that the two did not constitute substantial similarity, and rejected all the claims of the plaintiff Zhongying Hua Teng (Beijing) Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd.

Nezha (hereinafter referred to as Nezha) is a 3D animated film with a mythical theme, which is produced by striped house movie and cocoa bean animation and directed by Jiaozi (Yu Yang). Producers include striped house movies, cocoa bean animation and October culture. The film was released in China on July 26th, 20 19, and the total box office exceeded 5 billion yuan, ranking second in the history of China movies.

China Film Hua Teng Company believes that the stage play Five-dimensional Memory constitutes a dramatic work or other works as stipulated by the copyright law, and Nezha is substantially similar to Five-dimensional Memory in terms of character setting, story plot and production elements, which infringes on the right of adaptation of its works.

Therefore, Yu Yang, Beijing Light Film Co., Ltd., Horgos Striped House Film Co., Ltd., Horgos Cocoa Animation Film Co., Ltd., Horgos October Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Beijing Striped House Technology Co., Ltd. were brought to court.

China Film Hua Teng asked the court to order:

In this regard, Nezha believes that:

After trial, Beijing Intellectual Property Court finally held that:

In this case, the "stage performance" in the film Nezha and the stage play Five-dimensional Memory belong to different forms of works.

When judging the similarity of different types of works at the copyright level, we should pay attention to:

Therefore, the similarity comparison of different works, including language, music, pictures, dance and other forms, should be based on the principle of externalism and the general feelings of the audience, and should not be limited by the creator's personalized understanding of the works. Similarity comparison in this case should follow the above rules.

Comparatively speaking, the plaintiff's ideas about character setting (including character image, character and character relationship), eight story lines and screen boundaries are not similar in essence.

To sum up, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court rejected all the plaintiff's claims in the first instance.

China Film Hua Teng said that she would continue to appeal and safeguard her legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law.
