Share price gains amidst litigation outcome

The release outlined the company had received a verdict relating to alleged intellectual property infringement. The jury's verdict included a reward of US$520,000.
In the statement, the company noted that:
Redbubble also notes that, in US court proceedings, this is but one step in the overall litigation and a number of possible steps remain before the claim is finally concluded. Redbubble believes that certain critical findings were not supported by the evidence offered at trial and will be asking the court for relief from the verdict on that basis. Redbubble remains confident in its position and will continue to vigorously pursue its defence of the claims.
