It is interesting though if their suit is only for trademark infringement, rather than breach of contract or copyright.
The US legal code in question covers all kinds if stuff, IP etc...
This kind of reminds me of a legal situation I've seen before whilst working on digital re-mastering. We have the curious situation of the film before the clean-up being the property of whoever holds the rights, afterwards however the digitally restored version is copy of whoever re-mastered it but they can do nothing with it because they own no Original rights. The nice clean version therefore is unusable untill everyone gets paid and the re-mastering company then gives consent to the original rights holder to publish/broadcast etc.
In the case I saw the original rights holder (a well known distributor of hong kong movies who shall remain nameless) refused to pay for the work (claiming they had run out of cash), we never got paid for the work and the nice clean copy of the movie NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY!!!
The point being this whole AInc./Hyperion situation could be (probably is) a lot more messy but the results could be the same if not resolved..........aaaaarrrrrrggh :madashell:
