And that 'Smallville' May Infringe
April 06, 2006
Federal judge Ronald S. W. Lew has issued a summary judgment
in a lawsuit brought by the heirs of Jerome Siegel against
Time Warner, Warner Bros. and DC Comics, according to
Variety. Lew ruled that the Siegel heirs had the right to
revoke their copyright assignment to Superboy and had
successfully recaptured the rights as of November 17th,
2004.
The ruling throws into question the ownership of Smallville
episodes that have run since that date, although that
specific question is yet to be resolved.
Warner Bros. says that it "respectfully disagrees" with the
ruling and will appeal.
