Toymaker suddenly drops lawsuit against "Sylvanian Drama" TikToker
Briefly

Epoch Company Ltd. has voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit against Thea Von Engelbrechten's 'Sylvanian Drama' social media account, which featured video content involving Calico Critters dolls. The company previously claimed that Von Engelbrechten infringed on intellectual property rights, prompting her to stop posting videos. While fans speculated that the account might not return, experts suggested the lawsuit could alienate potential customers. Additionally, it was noted that the company missed an opportunity to collaborate with the viral content creator, whose partnerships were more lucrative than Epoch's deals.
