A small Amazon store from China was surprised when he was sued for copyright and trademark infringement for a mousepad with the famous Einstein photo.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a ruling issued by Judge Manish S. Shah of U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on August 1, 2022 (1:21-cv-05492), online stores are allowed to call Albert Einstein's portrait "Albert Einstein's image" instead of "'photo of famous German scientist,' 'picture of theory of relativity scientist,' 'mousepad featuring E = mc2 physicist," as previously suggested by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Albert Einstein is one of the most recognizable people in human history. His popularity has scarcely waned in the 67 years since his death, and his image appears everywhere from memes to mugs. So, the founder of a small Amazon store was surprised when, late last year, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJ) sued his small company for copyright and trademark infringement in connection with Einstein-related merchandise. Worse, HUJ asked the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to use provisions usually applied to counterfeiters to freeze the company's financial accounts.
