Undeterred by its numerous court losses (see "Judge Smacks Down Stan Lee Media"), Stan Lee Media is in court in Pennsylvania asking for a declaratory judgment that it owns the rights to Spider-Man, according to Deadline. Stan Lee Media’s involvement arose out of a Disney infringement suit against American Music Theater, which was using Spider-Man in its Broadway: Now & Forever show. AMT’s defense is that it has a license from Stan Lee Media, and SLMI joined the suit to get confirmation of those rights.
Stan Lee has had nothing to do with the company that bears his name in over a decade, and the only business the company does is litigate over rights that, to date, the courts have ruled it does not own.
It’s likely this case will end like the others, but it’s a new strategy, in a new place, so the saga of unending litigation continues.
