 * A judge made several decisions in the legal battle concerning several Marvel characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, X-Men, and Hulk. New York federal judge Colleen McMahon rejected a bid by Marvel to throw out the Kirby estate's main counterclaim. However, the judge did trim several counterclaims by the Kirby estate. Judge McMahon essentially narrowed the case to Jack Kirby's working environment in the 50s and 60s when he and Stan Lee began many Marvel characters. Despite Marvel's attempt to keep their corporate parent out of the battle, the judge ruled that The Walt Disney Company will be involved since it will profit from Kirby's work. McMahon will soon look at Kirby's work history and some of the loose contracts and oral agreements that guided his efforts in those years.

 * After a decade of squabbling in a very convoluted legal battle, a federal judge in New York declared a "halt" to litigation involving the breakup of Stan Lee Media, Inc, a Web-based production and marketing company to control his intellectual property. In the case, shareholders of SLMI alleged they missed out on profits when SLMI dissolved in bankruptcy and Stan Lee, the genius behind Spider-Man, Iron Man, and other characters, improperly transferred intellectual property to Marvel. Yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Paul A. Crotty dismissed the lawsuit, citing lack of standing, expiration of statute of limitations, and other causes.

 * Marvel announced today it is seeking a judicial declaration saying that the Jack Kirby heirs' copyright claims are invalid. Last September, attorneys on behalf of the Kirby estate sent 45 notices to Marvel seeking to terminate purported assignments by Kirby of copyright interests in Marvel superhero characters such as X-Men and Fantastic Four. However, Marvel's lawsuit asserts that those claims are baseless because all of Kirby's contributions to Marvel's publications, like those of other comic book writers and artists of the same period, were works made for hire, making Marvel the sole owner of the copyrights. Under federal copyright law, works that were created at the "instance and expense" of a publisher during the time Kirby was a creator for Marvel were "works made for hire" and owned by that publisher. All of Kirby's contributions to Marvel comic books the heirs are claiming for themselves fall into this category. Marvel editors determined which publications Kirby would work on, just as they did with all the other artists and writers engaged to work on the publications, and always retained full editorial control. In addition, Kirby was paid for his contributions. As a result, all of Kirby's contributions were solely owned by Marvel, which was standard practice in the comic book publishing industry.
