🚨SUPERCELL IS BEING SUED FOR USING A DESIGN FROM AN AIR PURIFIER!🚨
Supercell has been sued for using a design from an air purifier without permission for the creation of Sprout! This air purifier is called Andrea.
In December 2025, the Paris Judicial Court decided that Supercell indeed copied this design without permission, and now Supercell may have received a deadline by which they must change Sprout’s design so that they no longer have future issues with it, such as the game being blocked or even higher fines (beyond those they have already paid).
This is a very extreme case, one that completely changes the lore of a Brawler, so for those who love Sprout as it is now, you can give it a proper funeral! 😭🥀

@REN_12234 Tbh I dont even think they look alike. Sure, both of them consists of a plant in a plastic container, but the air purifier is also missing a lot of details which makes a huge difference. Like sprout's claws, or the wheels, or his sticker face, which is actually unique to sprout.

🚨 MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SUPERCELL’S SPROUT LAWSUIT! 🚨
•The Court observed that Sprout’s model is very similar to the model of “Andrea”, an air purifier, with only a few minor changes. This is not referring to the robotic arms or the plant itself, but specifically to the robot body shape. This automatically led to a copyright infringement ruling.
•Supercell submitted Sprout concept artworks to the Court (including some we have never even seen before), hoping it would help their case, but it actually made things worse. The Court noticed from the concept art that Sprout originally had a completely different shape during the early stages of development. Only later in development did it begin to “copy” Andrea’s shape, convincing the Court that this was indeed copyright theft and not just a coincidence in creativity.
•Supercell is required to pay €250,000 for the lost license, and this is only a precautionary measure from the Court. They will have to pay even more after publishing the financial reports related to Sprout’s revenue generated in France over the last 6 years.
•The "original designer" also requested separate compensation for “parasitism.” In a legal context, parasitism means that a person or company (in this case Supercell) benefits from someone else’s work, reputation, or success without having the rights to do so or contributing themselves. The Court rejected this request because it considered that the damages caused by those actions were already covered by the previously granted copyright infringement compensation.
•The Court rejected Supercell’s request to inform players about this change. The Court believes that such an announcement would make players aware of more information than necessary, further worsening the moral damages already suffered.
•Supercell is being forced to stop using Sprout and its mutant version in France, both in-game and across all advertising and communication materials (which explains the deletion of social media posts).
•For every day Sprout remains in the game or on Supercell’s social media accounts with its current model, Supercell must pay €1,000 per day for one year.
•Supercell is also required to provide the "original designer" with auditor financial reports regarding all revenue generated from Sprout in France since April 2020, including in-game sales, merchandise, and commercial licensing. Delays in delivering these reports will result in a €1,000 monthly penalty.
•Supercell is also required to reimburse €40,000 in legal expenses.
•The Court ordered both parties to meet with a mediator to discuss a possible licensing agreement, considering that hundreds of thousands of players have already purchased access to the Brawler in-game.
•The deletion of the social media posts is proof that they have not reached an agreement yet, and that Supercell is required to change Sprout’s design

@BalastroWilly @CandyNoticias So ur saying coke can sue pepsi cuz their bottle looks the same 😂

@CandyNoticias Es imposible negar que el diseño de Sprout es idéntico a Andrea, sonará a opinión impopular pero SUPERCELL fue notificada cuando Sprout salió, pudieron solucionar mucho antes todo esto.

El conflicto Andrea-Sprout no es reciente, viene desde hace 6 años, y la demanda no fue hecha por una empresa sino por una única persona, Mathieu Lehanneur (Reconocido ingeniero y creador de Andrea)
En Junio 2020 (casi unos 3 meses de la salida de Sprout) él le pidió a SUPERCELL que dejará de usar el diseño
En octubre 2021 les envío una segunda notificación, pero en noviembre 2021 SUPERCELL rechazó los reclamos bajo el argumento de que el purificador de aire no era una obra original protegida por derechos de autor y que Sprout, el personaje de Brawl Stars, no lo infringía
Así que en Diciembre 2021 Mathieu Lehanneur demandó a SUPERCELL por derechos de autor
Luego de varios años, en Diciembre 2025, el tribunal francés dictaminó que Sprout si había infringido los derechos de autor fallando a favor de Mathieu Lehanneur

MASSIVE NEWS‼️🌱
Our beloved plant robot Spout will be getting a complete remodel soon⚙️
The french company behind the "Andrea air purifier" has filed a lawsuit against Supercell for using their design for Wally/Sprout.
Supercell was ordered to pay €250,000 as a provisional amount for patrimonial damages, plus €80,000 for moral rights damages. Besides that they will have to delete all public visuals of Sprout's design + completely remodel OR DELETE sprout out of the game 💔
Of course (hopefully) they won't delete Sprout, so a remodel is more likely, and probably coming soon!👀
ℹ️ All of this info was found on an official french justice website.
Shoutout to @REN_12234, @6upTeapotDragon, @TiaDoesStuffX3 & @BrawlNetworkX for figuring this out😎
What do you think of this situation?🤔

@ohhanxiety 3 but with a sawed off barrel because my house is small as fuck.
English

Her name was Leonie, she was a 13-year-old Austrian girl.
While she was out with friends, 3 Afghan immigrants secretly put 11 ecstasy pills in her drink. Stunned and unable to defend herself, she was taken to the house of one of the three.
The ecstasy dose was way too high, the girl started overdosing but the 3 immigrants, completely indifferent to her suffering, began to undress her and took turns raping her, putting their hands around her neck, strangling her. All of it recorded by themselves on a mobile phone video.
That’s how Leonie died, naked, in atrocious suffering, while the beasts raped her. The autopsy would later confirm the cause of death was triple overdose and asphyxiation.
When they were done, they wrapped the body in a carpet and dumped it roadside, under a tree.
The girl’s body was found the next morning by some passers-by, wearing only her underwear and with clear strangulation marks on her neck.
One of the perpetrators fled to the United Kingdom, but was quickly tracked down in a hotel and extradited, the 3 Afghans were sentenced:
- Zubaidullah R. life imprisonment;
- Ali H. 19 years in prison;
- Ibraulhaq A. 20 years in prison.
During the closing arguments, the Public Prosecutor told the court she was “stunned” by what the defendants said throughout the proceedings, stating that “there is not a trace of remorse”.
