Help Artist Overturn Copyright Lawsuit
Artist John T. Unger is currently battling a lawsuit that seeks to overturn his original copyright.
“My original art has been copied by a manufacturer who is now suing me in federal court to overturn my existing copyrights and continue making knockoffs,” Unger writes on his web site. “I have a strong case, a great lawyer and believe that if I can continue to defend myself, the case will be resolved in my favor. If I run out of funds before we reach trial, a default judgment would be issued against me and could put me out of business. I don’t believe my opponent can win this case in court and I don’t believe he really intends to try. I believe his goal is to use strong-arm litigation tactics to force me to keep spending money or risk losing my copyrights — not by true adjudication, but by default if he is able to outspend me.”
