Entertainment Litigation Cases We Handle

Entertainment litigation refers to legal disputes and cases that specifically pertain to the entertainment industry. This branch of law encompasses a wide range of issues related to various forms of entertainment, including film, television, music, theater, sports, gaming, and more.

Entertainment litigation can involve individuals, companies, or organizations within the entertainment industry and often revolves around protecting intellectual property rights, resolving contract disputes, and addressing various legal issues that arise in the world of entertainment. If you’re facing a complex legal challenge to your rights or property, Robins Cloud LLP can help you build a strong case.

We can help with issues such as:

• Defamation: These cases involve false statements that harm a person's or entity's reputation. In the entertainment industry, defamation claims may arise from published articles, social media posts, interviews, or other public statements that negatively impact the reputation of individuals, artists, or companies.
• Idea Theft: Idea theft cases concern allegations of intellectual property theft or the unauthorized use of creative ideas. For example, a screenwriter claiming that a major film studio stole their screenplay concept.
• Licensing Disputes: Licensing disputes often involve disagreements between content owners and those who wish to use their intellectual property. This can include issues related to the licensing terms, royalties, and exclusivity agreements.
• Royalty Disputes: These cases involve disagreements over the distribution of profits and royalties among artists, producers, and other stakeholders. It is common in the music and film industries, among others.
• Trademark and Copyright Infringement: These cases revolve around the unauthorized use of copyrighted or trademarked material, such as music, film, logos, or characters. When someone uses protected content without permission, it can lead to legal action.
• Contract Disputes: Entertainment contracts can be complex, and disputes may arise over terms, obligations, payment structures, and performance issues. Examples include actor agreements, record contracts, and licensing agreements.
• Right of Publicity: These cases involve the unauthorized commercial use of an individual's name, image, or likeness, often by advertisers or media companies without obtaining proper consent.
• Privacy Violations: In the age of social media and paparazzi, privacy violations in the entertainment industry may include cases related to stalking, harassment, or the unauthorized distribution of private photos or videos.
• Antitrust and Competition Law: Some cases involve allegations of anti-competitive practices or monopolistic behavior within the entertainment industry.
• Insurance Claims: Entertainment industry professionals often carry insurance policies to protect against unforeseen circumstances, such as event cancellations, accidents on set, or injuries during live performances. Insurance disputes can arise if an insurer denies a claim.
• Production Disputes: These cases may involve disagreements among cast, crew, and producers during the production of films, TV shows, or live events. Issues can range from safety concerns to disputes over creative direction.
• Music Publishing and Distribution Disputes: These cases concern disputes related to the rights and royalties associated with the production and distribution of music, including issues with music streaming platforms.

Success in an entertainment dispute requires a strategic team and an attorney who won’t back down in the face of pressure. We’ve taken on multinational corporations before and are not afraid to go toe-to-toe with in-house lawyers or entertainment specialists.
