A recent Ninth Circuit panel hearing raised doubts about a Chinese company’s appeal of a $23.4 million copyright-trial loss against the creator of the popular children’s YouTube channel CoComelon. During the hearing, one judge expressed skepticism to the company’s counsel, stating, “it doesn’t look good for you,” while another judge remarked that he had never seen such compelling evidence of copying in the case record.

The case involves a legal battle between the Chinese company and the maker of CoComelon, with significant implications for intellectual property rights. The judges’ remarks during the hearing suggest that the Chinese company faces an uphill battle in overturning the lower court’s decision.
