Forbes reports that a French judge has ruled against Franck Le Calvez, who asked the court to stop the merchandising of Finding Nemo in France. “Even though a civil trial remains on the docket for the fall, the court decision is a blow to Franck Le Calvez, the author behind the small publishing house book, Pierrot le Poisson Clown. Le Calvez argued in his lawsuit that the Nemo created by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Disney is a copy of the Pierrot character he invented and first published in November 2002.
