Ulf Brunnberg gets the rights to "Dynamite-Harry"

Ulf Brunnberg wants to prevent Jönssonligan from being exploited in more films. Now the actor, who played Ragnar Vanheden in the original films, has obtained the right to the trademark "Dynamit-Harry", a role played by Björn Gustafsson.

I am against these pathetic attempts to turn "Jönssonligan" into commercial ticket sellers at any price, where they use the characters and the "Jönssonligan" brand to foolishness, he says to Expressen.

He tried to register the trademark last year with the Patent and Registration Office, but was denied. Then he appealed to the Stockholm District Court, which ruled in his favor.

A new Jönssonligan film is scheduled to premiere on Christmas Day this year, featuring Robert Gustafsson as "Sickan" and Jonas Karlsson as Vanheden. Brunnberg now wants to prevent cinemas from showing the film.

It's up to the distributors now to decide how to proceed, because I'm not particularly keen on them releasing this new film without copyright, he says to Expressen.

Ulf Brunnberg played the role of Ragnar Vanheden in eight Jönssonligan films between 1981-2000.
