In 1901 Kraus was sued by Hermann Bahr and Emmerich Bukovics, who felt they had been attacked in "Die Fackel". Many lawsuits by various offended parties followed in later years. Also in 1901, Kraus found out that his publisher, Moriz Frisch, had taken over his magazine while he was absent on a months-long journey. Frisch had registered the magazine's front cover as a trademark and published the "Neue Fackel" ("New Torch"). Kraus sued and won. From that time, "Die Fackel" was published (without a cover page) by the printer Jahoda & Siegel.
