Jurors agree Take-Two used Catherine Alexander's designs on Orton's player model without permission.
Randy Orton is one of the biggest stars in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment
The artist behind wrestling star Randy Orton's iconic tattoos has won a case against the publisher of the best-selling WWE 2K video games.Her lawsuit centred around five ink designs that are all featured on the 14-time champion's body.The case, first filed in 2018, claimed five tattoos - tribal tattoos, skulls, a bible verse, and a dove and rose - were Catherine Alexander's original designs.
She claimed WWE contacted her offering to pay $450 to use a design in its merchandise, which she turned down. After this, the court was told, she "did not grant any permission to WWE to copy, duplicate or otherwise use or reproduce any of the plaintiff's designs". Take-Two argued the tattoos were protected under fair use rules that allowed it to recreate Orton in the video games.
