Michael Crichton estate's lawsuit over 'The Pitt' heads to jury trial
Warner Bros. failed to block the estate's claim that the medical drama violates a frozen-rights provision in a 1994 agreement.
TLDR
Warner Bros. lost another bid to block the lawsuit. The Court of Appeal ruled that the estate's evidence could support a finding that 'The Pitt' is derivative of 'ER' and violates a frozen-rights provision in a 1994 agreement. The case now moves to discovery and a jury trial.
