Ilustrata Servicos Design, Ltda. Files a Federal Copyright Lawsuit on September 29, 2026, in the Northern District of Illinois – Retro Japanese-Style Illustrations, Copyright Claims, and Docket Updates 


Ilustrata Servicos Design, Ltda. filed a federal copyright infringement lawsuit on September 29, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The lawsuit concerns alleged unauthorized reproduction and commercial use of copyrighted illustrations associated with Ilustrata, a Brazilian creative studio known for its colorful, Japanese-inspired artwork and retro graphic designs. 


The lawsuit was filed against defendants identified through Schedule A, a format commonly used in intellectual property enforcement actions involving multiple online sellers and e-commerce businesses. 


Third-party case reporting associates this lawsuit with Japanese-inspired illustrations, including sushi and cat-themed artwork. The specific protected designs, copyright registrations, and allegedly infringing products should be confirmed through the complaint and supporting exhibits. 


This is a separate proceeding from Ilustrata's earlier September 2026 lawsuit, Case No. 1:26-cv-11394.

The docket also records a civil cover sheet, a notification of affiliates, and several attorney notices of appearance filed on behalf of the plaintiff that day. 


The available public docket does not establish the outcome of subsequent motions, requests for temporary injunctive relief, or substantive court rulings. 


About the Plaintiff 


Ilustrata Servicos Design, Ltda. is a Brazilian creative business associated with Ilustrata Studio, an illustration and graphic design studio known for combining Japanese pop culture, traditional visual influences, and contemporary artistic styles. 


The studio was established in Brazil in 2013 and has been associated with illustrators Bruno Rodrigues, David Faraum, and Victor Kahn. 


Ilustrata's creative portfolio includes retro-style illustrations, graphic designs, and artwork inspired by Japanese culture, food, animals, fantasy, and popular entertainment. 


Its visual style frequently combines unexpected subjects, such as sushi, ramen, cats, monsters, and traditional Japanese artistic motifs, into colorful and imaginative compositions. 


These illustrations have been featured in designs suitable for apparel, posters, prints, and other creative merchandise. 


Through this lawsuit, Ilustrata asserts copyright interests in creative works allegedly reproduced or commercially used without authorization. 


The particular illustrations, ownership claims, copyright registrations, and accused products involved in this lawsuit should be verified through the complaint and supporting evidence.
