An amateur cartoonist who falsely claimed to be the creator of 'Kung Fu Panda' has been sentenced to two years in prison for fraud, according to a Guardian¹ report.

《卫报》报道，一位业余漫画家冒称自己是“功夫熊猫”的创造者被法院以欺诈罪判有期徒刑两年。

Jayme Gordon, 51, from Massachusetts, U.S. was ordered Wednesday in a federal court in Boston to pay more than 3 million U.S. dollars in damages.

Gordon filed a copyright lawsuit² in 2011 alleging³ that DreamWorks Animation⁴ had stolen the characters and story from him for the 2008 animated⁵ comedy. He proposed the company settle for 12 million dollars.

DreamWorks confronted him with evidence showing Gordon had traced his drawings from a 1996 Disney coloring book.

According to the indictment⁶, Gordon revised his Panda drawings after seeing a trailer for 'Kung Fu Panda' in early 2008. He then registered his cartoons under the title of 'Kung Fu Panda Power' with the Copyright Office in May 2008, one month prior to the release of the animated film.

In addition to fabricating and backdating drawings, he also deleted evidence from his computer and lied under oath.

The litigation has cost the studio three million in legal fees.
