ComicMix is having a good day, having won a lawsuit against Dr. Seuss Enterprises recently . The lawsuit tried to stop a crowd-funded , Seuss-inspired, Star Trek children’s book called Oh, the Places You’ll Boldly Go!; which is of course a play on the iconic Star Trek catchphrase.
The good folks at Dr. Seuss Enterprises sued, citing a breach of copyright law, something a judge ruled against last year, stating that the book was not deliberately misleading.
In a follow-up summary, US District Court Judge Janis Sammartino agreed with the findings, stating that the book does in deed fall into the realm of ‘fair use’, as it’s a parody. Dr. Seuss Enterprises tried to cite a 2018 decision of Oracle America, INC v Google as a precedent but the argument wasn’t ‘persuasive’.
The judge cited original art work, and writing as the reasons for the decision. The judge also claimed that the non-Seussian spacecraft used on the cover, a sticking point for the lawsuit, showed enough originality to disqualify any claims of copyright.
In other Trek news, the Deep Space 9 documentary – What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – has picked up a distributor according to Deadline. The film will see a release across multiple outlets this year, including a theatrical release thanks to Shout! Studios.
