According to the latest report from EW, Lionsgate had sued Yagoozon for selling unlicensed Mockingjay pins that feature the symbol featured on the cover of the second book and official movie poster of Catching Fire. Moreover, EW has also mentioned THR's report that Lionsgate only allow specific third party producers like NECA (National Entertainment Collectibles Association) to sell the replica of the pins or any of the costumes used in the franchise.
