Pop Mart International Group has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Bambu Lab, alleging that its MakerWorld platform allows users to upload design files for the Labubu toy, enabling unauthorized 3D printing. The case raises questions about the legal responsibilities of platform operators regarding user-uploaded copyrighted designs. Bambu Lab, a significant player in the 3D-printing industry, has faced previous copyright litigation. Pop Mart has intensified its efforts against intellectual property violations, with millions of counterfeit Labubu products seized in recent years.

- The dispute involves MakerWorld, a 3D-model platform operated by Bambu Lab, where users uploaded designs of Pop Mart's Labubu, raising questions about legal responsibilities for copyright infringement in consumer 3D printing.  
- Bambu Lab, established in 2020 and growing rapidly, now has nearly 10 million users while Pop Mart's Labubu toy generated over 30% of its revenue by 2025, prompting the company to crack down on intellectual property violations.  
- This legal challenge is not Bambu Lab's first, as it previously faced copyright litigation from the studio of The Legend of Luo Xiaohei, with a hearing on that case scheduled for March 20.

Pop Mart sues 3D-printer firm in Labubu copyright fight

Pop Mart's recent launch of the Merodi character in Hong Kong has faced challenges, with low initial sales and limited customer recognition. Despite the tepid response, analysts remain optimistic about the company's strategy to introduce new intellectual properties (IPs) to maintain interest. Pop Mart's shares rose over 2% amid concerns about the sustainability of its success, particularly following the popularity of its flagship character, Labubu. The company aims to adapt its product roll-out based on market response, acknowledging the need for new IPs to gain traction over time.

- Pop Mart's new character, Merodi, launched in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay, has received a lukewarm response compared to previous hits like Labubu.  
- Despite this, investors remain optimistic, as the company's shares rose over 2 percent, reflecting confidence in the potential long-term success of new intellectual properties.  
- Market analysts suggest that while some IPs may not achieve immediate popularity, ongoing efforts to adapt and promote them will keep Pop Mart relevant in the competitive toy industry.

Hong Kong Stocks Slide as Trading Resumes Post-Holiday

Pop Mart, the international art toy brand, faces challenges as its breakout figure Labubu sees a decline in secondary-market prices, while its iconic character Molly celebrates her 20th anniversary. The company’s revenue heavily relies on Labubu, which has experienced significant volatility, contrasting with Molly's steady performance. Despite a surge in revenue from artist IPs, concerns arise over the sustainability of Pop Mart's success, as investors weigh the balance between enduring cultural icons and fleeting viral trends. The company aims to diversify its IP offerings to reassure stakeholders about long-term growth.

- Pop Mart, founded by Wang Ning, initially struggled with brand connection while selling men's suits, leading to insights on the significance of emotional branding.  
- The company now faces challenges balancing the volatile success of its Labubu figure with the steady appeal of its character Molly, as revenue and market dependence shifts.  
- As it expands globally, Pop Mart's strategy focuses on cultivating both breakout IPs and legacy characters, aiming for sustainable growth amid varying market demands.

Pop Mart balances boom and bust: can Labubu’s leap match Molly’s momentum?
