Any updates on this court case? How does HERGOTT PRODUCTIONS claim his intellectual property was stolen?

Actually, I just read the answer to one of my questions in another one of your posts.

An attorney on behalf of James Hergott filed a motion this morning in the state of California asking for a temporary injunction to block plans to film until a court of law can rule on which party the ****** and rights belong to.

Not sure what is going on here.

[lukestaves]

Can someone explain in lame ins terms... I little bit sllllloooowwww!

This is entirely speculation because I'm not up to speed. Sounds like Cindy knows what up.

Essentially, there is an MMA movie that is slated to come out in due time. There is/was controversy surrounding who owns the intellectual property rights (ownership of the movie title, storyline, ideas, etc.).

The plaintiff in the lawsuit sought injunctive relieve (extraordinary aid) from the court to prevent the making of the film.

I don't know what the judge decided. But as far as I know the movie is still slated to come out. I have not heard anything further though.

Sorry if that's too general. But I really don't know what's going on either. I saw the thread for the first time today as well.
