Stan Lee Media sues Disney for billions over Marvel characters; ComicBookResources.com, 10/10/12
Kevin Melrose, ComicBookResources.com; Stan Lee Media sues Disney for billions over Marvel characters:
"Undeterred by numerous legal setbacks, failed dot-com Stan Lee Media on Tuesday filed a $5.5 billion copyright-infringement lawsuit against Disney, claiming the entertainment giant doesn’t actually own the Marvel characters featured in such blockbuster films as The Avengers, X-Men: First Class and Thor, and the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. The dollar amount reflects the estimated revenue from box-office receipts, licensing and merchandising dating back three years, the statute of limitations for copyright infringement."
