Sony files lawsuit against Jerry Lambert & Bridgestone | Sony presenta demanda contra Jerry Lambert & Bridgestone

[EN]: When it comes to gaming in the US, many PlayStation fans recognize one familiar face, the one that belongs to actor Jerry Lambert also known as Kevin Butler in Sony commercials. However, his appearance in a Bridgestone commercial may cost him his contract with Sony Computer Entertainment America.

As you may already know, Lambert last month appeared in a Bridgestone Tires TV commercial. The goal: for customers to get either a Wii console or a $70 discount. The ad show Lambert playing Mario Kart Wii. The “Game On” commercial was eventually edited for TV, and the original YouTube video is no longer available on the tire company’s YT account. The presence of Jerry Lambert was removed.

Now we know why the company may have made that change. On September 11, Sony filed a lawsuit against tire company Bridgestone,  and Wildcat Creek, a company owned by Jerry Lambert, for trademark infringement.

What will Bridgestone and Jerry Lambert (aka Kevin Butler) do next? Do you think Sony has the right to take both to court?

[ES]: Cuando se trata de juegos en los EE.UU., muchos fans de PlayStation reconocen un rostro familiar, el que le pertenece el actor Jerry Lambert también conocido como Kevin Butler en los comerciales de Sony. Sin embargo, su aparición en un comercial de Bridgestone puede costarle su contrato con Sony Computer Entertainment America.

Como quizá ya sepan, el mes pasado Lambert apareció en un comercial de televisión de Bridgestone Tires. La meta: que los clientes consigan una consola Wii o un descuento de $70. El anuncio muestra a Lambert jugando Mario Kart Wii. El comercial Game On fue finalmente editado para la televisión, y el video original en YouTube ya no se encuentra disponible en la cuenta de YT de la empresa. La presencia de Jerry Lambert se eliminó.

Ahora sabemos por qué la empresa puede haber hecho ese cambio. El 11 de septiembre, Sony presentó una demanda contra la compañía de neumáticos Bridgestone, y Wildcat Creek, una compañía propiedad de Jerry Lambert, por infracción de marca.

¿Qué van a hacer Bridgestone y Jerry Lambert (alias Kevin Butler) a continuación? ¿Crees que Sony tiene el derecho de llevar a ambos a la corte?
