Part of the evidence offered in the lawsuit was gathered as a result of last year’sCapcom data leak. In among the files leaked online afterwards were high resolution images of artwork used in Capcom games, and the lawsuit alleges that a metal texture among the files had the same name, “ME009”, as a photograph of a metal texture in Juracek’s collection.
Juracek is seeking $12 million in damages for copyright infringement, alongside other damages. A Capcom representative told Polygon that they were “aware of the lawsuit”, but had no further comment.
