不爽猫真的不爽了！告饮料公司侵权并获得71万美元赔偿

The owners of a cat made famous online because of its permanent scowl have been awarded $710,000 (?500,000) in a case by a California federal court.

由于总是愁眉苦脸而在网上成名的猫的主任在加利福尼亚州一个联邦法院的案件中被授予71万美元（50万英镑）。

Grumpy Cat Limited sued the owners of US coffee company Grenade for exceeding an agreement over the cat’s image.

不爽猫有限公司起诉美国咖啡公司“手榴弹”侵犯不爽猫的肖像权。

The company only had rights to use the cat to sell its "Grumppuccino" iced drink, but sold other Grumpy products.

该公司只有权利使用这只猫的形象出售其“不爽奇诺”冰饮，但却出售了其他“不爽”产品。

The cat, real name Tardar Sauce, went viral in 2012 after photographs of her sour expression emerged online.

这只猫，真名塔达酱，2012年因其出现在网上的不爽表情照片而成名。

Originally posted on the social website Reddit by the brother of the cat’s owner, Tabatha Bundesen, the image of the cat quickly spread as a meme with funny text captions.

最初由猫主任的哥哥Tabatha Bundesen放在社交网站Reddit上的不爽猫照片很快成为带段子的图片并被疯传。

In 2013 Grenade Beverage, owned by father and son Nick and Paul Sandford, struck a $150,000 deal to market iced coffee beverages with the cat’s scowl on its packaging.

在2013年，由父子俩Nick和Paul Sandford持有的手榴弹饮料公司以15万美元的价格销售冰冻咖啡饮料，并在包装??上使用了不爽猫的形象。

But in 2015 Grumpy Cat Limited sued them for breaching that contract.

但在2015年，不爽猫有限公司起诉他们违反了合同。

A court filing claimed they had exceeded the deal by selling roasted coffee and Grumppucino T-shirts, which Grumpy Cat said "blatantly infringed" their copyrights and trademarks.

法庭提交的文件声称，他们出售烘焙咖啡和不爽奇诺T恤是违反合同行为，不爽猫说这种做法“公然侵犯了”他们的版权和商标。

The coffee chain’s owners countersued on the grounds that the cat and its owners had not held up their side of the deal.

咖啡连锁店的业主反驳说，这只猫和主人也没有遵守自己在合同中的义务。

A lawyer for Grenade said Grumpy Cat had failed to mention its brand enough on social media and in a television appearance, according to court reports.

据法庭报道，一名为“手榴弹”声辩的律师说，不爽猫在社交媒体和电视节目中都没有提及自己的品牌。

They also alleged that the owners had told them Tardar Sauce was set to star in a film alongside Hollywood actors Will Ferrell and Jack Black, something that did not happen.

他们还声称，猫主人告诉他们，塔达酱将会和好莱坞演员Will Ferrell和Jack Black一起出演一部电影，但实际上并没有发生。

But a California federal jury sided with the cat and her owners, ordering the payment of $710,000 in damages for copyright and trademark infringement, as well as a $1 nominal damage fee for breach of contract.

但加利福尼亚联邦陪审团支持猫和她的主人，责令对方支付710,000美元的版权和商标侵权赔偿金，以及1美元的违约损失费。

According to Courthouse News, Grumpy Cat herself made a brief appearance during the January trial, but was not present for the verdict.

据《法院报》报道，不爽猫在1月份的审判中短暂出庭，但是并没有出庭作证。

The cat’s perpetually sad and unique expression is said to be caused by feline dwarfism and an underbite - when the lower jaw extends forward.

这只猫永恒悲伤的独特表情据说是由猫科侏儒症和下颌骨引起的，即当下颌向前延伸时。

The six-year-old cat now has a company in her name, and a range of merchandise - including clothing, calendars and soft toys.

这只六岁的猫现在有一个以自己名字命名的公司，还出了一系列的商品 - 包括服装，日历和软玩具。

She has travelled the world making television appearances and in 2014, the cat even starred in her own Christmas film.
