RC3, a maker of Android apps, isn't about to be backed down by the legal demands of a teenager. The company has preemptively filed a lawsuit against Justin Bieber and claims the right to distribute a game, Joustin' Beaver, regardless of the singer's trademark and publicity right claims. The move comes two weeks after Bieber's attorneys sent the company a cease-and-desist letter that threatened litigation if the app wasn't promptly terminated.
In the lawsuit, RC3 admits that the game was inspired by Biebermania:
"In an effort to comment upon the Defendant's life, the Plaintiff, RC3 developed the aforementioned App entitled "Joustin' Beaver." The App, a video game, is a parody of the commercial success of the Defendant and any celebrity. The parody app portrays a beaver floating on a log down a river. The beaver presents with bangs, a lance, and a purple sweater. The beaver knocks 'Phot-Hogs' that are attempting to take his photograph into the river with his lance. The beaver also signs 'Otter-graphs.' The beaver also must dodge the 'whirlpool of success,' which will lead beaver out of control, while navigating the river.
