Sony (SCEA) is Suing Kevin Butler

Court documents have surfaced suggesting that Sony Computer Entertainment of America is in the process of suing Bridgestone and the advertising company Wildcat Creek, Inc  - whose president just so happens to be Jerry Lambert aka Kevin Butler – for a recent advertisement.  The ad in question shows Lambert playing Mario Kart Wii for the Bridgestone Tire Company.

The lawsuit was filed on September 11, 2012 not long after the ad surfaced on the internet. The court documents state that the lawsuit was filed over  an “Intellectual Property – Trademark.” What this means for Sony and our favorite Vice President is unknown, but it looks like we won’t be seeing him in any PlayStation ads anytime soon. The documents can be found below.
