Ty, maker of Beanie Babies, says toy and collectible store Pop Mart is selling unauthorized products with “Beanie” in the name.
TY INC. (“Ty”), the plush toy company which holds trademarks including BEANIES and BEANIE BABIES, sued Pop Mart Americas Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging trademark infringement in the sale of unauthorized “Beanie” toys (TY INC. v. Pop Mart Americas Inc., No. 1:26-cv-00463 (N.D. Ill. filed Jan. 15, 2026)).
Ty’s registered trademarks for its plush toys include BEANIES, BEANIE BABIES, BEANIE BOOS, BEANIE BELLIES, and BEANIE BOUNCERS, and the company said in a complaint filed in the case that its BEANIES, BEANIE BABIES, and BEANIE BOOS marks have become legally incontestable.
