We represented Fox Entertainment and related entities and individuals as trial counsel in connection with a copyright matter in which a jury trial was scheduled to begin in the summer of 2007. Plaintiffs alleged that the hit movie “Dodgeball: a True Underdog Story” infringed the copyright in a screenplay that the Plaintiffs had written. Before we took over the case, the court denied Fox’s motion for summary judgment and granted summary judgment dismissing several of Fox’s affirmative defenses. Two months after we took over, we obtained partial summary judgment in Fox’s favor and had the plaintiffs’ sole expert witness deemed unqualified to testify. We were then able to obtain a very favorable settlement.
