Chorion Ltd, the U.K.-based owner and manager of literary-based brands, announced the acquisition of The Copyrights Group Ltd, a leading independent licensing business, for an undisclosed sum.
Through this acquisition, Chorion and Copyrights will together represent such brands as BEATRIX POTTER, PADDINGTON BEAR, Raymond Briggs' THE SNOWMAN, SPOT and HORRIBLE HISTORIES.
The acquisition of Copyrights provides a significant expansion to Chorion's brand portfolio, which includes properties such as NODDY, MR. MEN and the works of Agatha Christie and comes as Chorion prepares the major international launch of two new television series featuring MR. MEN and Enid Blyton's FAMOUS FIVE.
