SAN FRANCISCO, August 24, 2022 — One of the world’s leading graphic designers filed suit today against internet design and printing giant, Zazzle, Inc., for cheating her business out of its intellectual property, which allowed Zazzle to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten profits.

Nicky Laatz, one of the leading custom premium font designers in the world, filed this action today in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that Zazzle fraudulently and secretly obtained her Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts software for use on Zazzle’s website.
