PopCap's Lawsuit Losses Total $7.3 Million

Last week it was announced that MumboJumbo successfully sued PopCap for $4.6 million. Now it’s been announced that PopCap is being pegged with MumboJumbo’s legal fees, increasing overall losses by more than 50 percent.

MumboJumbo’s legal fees for the case totaled $2.7 million, including lawyer fees and $525,000 for appeals after the verdict was decided. This brings PopCap’s damages up to $7.3 million.

The original case found PopCap guilty of damaging MumboJumbo’s relationships with retailers by issuing false and misleading statements. PopCap allegedly wanted to sabotage MumboJumbo’s distribution so they could move in on the territory themselves. This qualified as a breach of contract between the companies, which had MumboJumbo distributing select PopCap games.
