Can I use cartoon characters in my game?

Question

Law in IT

The wording of the title of my question is not entirely accurate, I'm not interested in whether I can use cartoon characters in my game, but, for example, can I draw my own ponies in the style of MyLittlePony cartoon characters and use them in my Play Store game? The anatomy will completely copy the cartoon characters, but there are no such characters in the cartoon.

Answer 1

Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problems.
But it all depends on the level of drawing of your characters and the level at which MyLittlePony lawyers start to burn from your creations.
It will also depend on the level of promotion of your application. If it reaches a high level, then be prepared for problems.
It's impossible to answer the question without specific pictures.

Answer 2

It will mainly depend on how popular the game will be. If it's on page 250 of the marketplace, Hasbro's lawyers will put a huge bolt on you. If it will be possible to fuck something with you - be prepared for the fact that they will come to fuck :)

Answer 3

I wanted to write my answer first, but it would look like this:

I'll just add about:

The anatomy will completely copy the cartoon characters, but there are no such characters in the cartoon.

Such cases are known, for example, the court between BMW and Shuanghuan can be cited . (many may say that the example is not ice, but there are also copyrights ...)
