In 1991 Troy Walker created Bob Spongee, a sponge who had eyes, legs and arms. He lived on Apple Street with his wife, Linda, and their daughter, Bubbles.
He also produced 1,000 dolls that he sold in flea markets and through the mail.
“They took all of it,” Walker said this week. “I sold the Bob Spongees all throughout Northern California. It obviously fell into the hands of one of the producers of the show. It’s a clear pattern of duplication.”
Walker has demanded $1.6 billion in damages. Nickelodeon will not comment on pending litigation, a spokeswoman wrote in a statement.
