Movie Company, Toho, is currently suing Honda for using their character �Godzilla� in an American commercial without their permission.
They've presented their case on the 11th and are suing Honda through the Los Angeles district courts. A specific claim amount wasn't included in the legal brief.
The advertisement in question is a commercial for the Honda Odyssey. They never mention Godzilla�s name, but a character in Godzilla's image was shown breathing fire on a video screen inside the minivan.
People close to Toho stated, �Godzilla is also popular in America, but they used our character without permission and infringed on our copyright�. Honda is leaving it up to the lawyers stating, �We can�t comment on this case�.
