In 2012, the Landgericht Hamburg (Regional Court) partially upheld Sony’s claims.

That's Germany's most blatantly biased court for copyright infringement by the way. Any regional court can be chosen when suing for copyright infringement but it's always Hamburg that handles these cases. Be careful when publishing pictures of your home on the internet - your wallpaper may be copyrighted and you may have to pay a few thousand euros.

This is in line with the outcome of "Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc. v. Nintendo of America, Inc." (USA 1992)
