A summary of Southern California-related business litigation developments during the past week.
Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Copyright: Titan Sports Inc., which does business as the World Wrestling Federation, filed suit to protect the copyrighted names and likenesses of two star wrestlers, Hulk Hogan and Randy (Macho Man) Savage. The U.S. District Court suit claimed that Montebello-based 3-D Productions and 3-G Home Video released “The Missing Matches” videotapes, featuring short 1980 bouts between the wrestlers. The defendants allegedly used legally protected likenesses and the names of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man. Titan asked for unspecified damages and will ask for a preliminary order on July 16 barring use of protected names and images. (Filed June 12, 1990. Case No. 90-3022)
