Prior existence of nonexclusive licenses is no bar to standing

Posted on April 3, 2008 by Amy A. Quinlan

TV Guide Online, Inc., et al. v. Tribune Media Services, C.A. No. 05-725-SLR/LPS, March 26, 2008. (public version)

Stark, M.J.   Magistrate recommends that defendant’s motion to dismiss for lack of standing be denied.

At least 19 nonexclusive licenses existed before TV Guide obtained an exclusive license.  The Magistrate found TV Guide obtained the exclusive rights going forward and had standing to maintain this litigation.
