Wogan and Goldman Represent Hasbro in Trial Over Dungeons & Dragons Film Rights
Frankfurt Kurnit's Maura Wogan and Jeremy Goldman represent Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast in a dispute focusing on questions at the heart of the entertainment business: What is a "sequel," what is a "television movie," and when do motion picture rights – once licensed – revert to their original owner? The dispute between our clients and defendant Sweetpea Entertainment centers on who owns the motion picture rights to Dungeons & Dragons – a role-playing game that both Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. want to turn into a new movie franchise. We just completed a 6-day trial in federal court in Los Angeles and are awaiting a decision.
