Mutant X Suit Partly Settled
Fox and Marvel Enterprises have settled a long-running lawsuit over the Mutant X television show, which is in its second year, Variety reported. But Fox has not settled with Tribune Entertainment, the syndicator, and Fireworks Entertainment, the producer and international distributor, the trade paper reported.
In a joint release, Fox and Marvel said the parties have amicably resolved their differences and put the lawsuit behind them and look forward to an expanded relationship. The terms of the settlement are confidential, the trade paper reported.
Fox sued Marvel, Tribune and Fireworks in April 2001 to stop production of a television show it claimed was a copycat of Fox’s X-Men movie, the trade paper reported. A federal court judge in New York enjoined the show from using the X-Men logo and films clips, but allowed the show to go forward. On appeal, the court reinstated false advertising claims against Tribune and Fireworks. The case has been in litigation since January 2002, the trade paper reported.
