Disney Emerged Victorious in a Trademark over Phase 4 Films the Studio that Takes Advantage of Big Hit Animated Films

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

Case in point: Disney's trademark lawsuit against Phase 4 Films, which allegedly changed the name of its movie The Legend of Sarila to Frozen Land so as to trade-off the success of Frozen, Disney's Oscar-nominated animated feature.

Less than a month after the lawsuit was filed, Phase 4 Films has given in.

The parties have settled the case with a stipulated judgment that requires that the movie go back to its original name, The Legend of Sarila.

The deal between the two companies also takes care of Disney's allegations that the defendant redesigned its artwork, packaging, logo and other promotional materials so as to mimic Frozen. Phase 4 stipulates that it won't promote its film with trademarks, logos or other designs confusingly similar. The film company also is required to make efforts to remove Frozen Land from stores and online distributors.

If that's not enough, Disney also gets $100,000 from Phase 4.
