Illegal Garfield Books in China

Posted on August 28, 2004

The BBC reported that Paws Incorporated, which licenses Garfield in the United States and bills itself as the worldwide headquarters of the wisecracking comic strip cat, is going after three China firms for publishing illegal Garfield books. Garfield's latest U.S. book is Garfield Survival of the Fattest: His 40th Book by Jim Davis (Ballantine). This is not the first time publishers in China have been accused of publishing illegal books. A publisher in China was accused of publishing bogus Harry Potter novels in 2002 with names like Harry Potter and Leopard Walk up to Dragon.
