Hasbro, Inc. and Wizards of the Coast LLC (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Hasbro”) have filed a lawsuit against Sweetpea Entertainment, Inc. and Sweetpea BVI LTD. (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Sweetpea”) primarily for copyright and trademark infringement. Hasbro claims it owns the copyright and trademark to "Dungeons and Dragons," and therefore Sweetpea has no right to begin or resume production on a new Dungeons and Dragons film. The lawsuit began when Hasbro learned of Sweetpea's film deal with Warner Bros. (“WB”). FactsDungeons and Dragons (“D&D”, the “Property”) is a fantasy role-playing game that encourages players to imagine adventures. Each player can choose from one of seven character classes, each with their own traits and specialties, to become their alter ego throughout the adventure. A Dungeon Master, who sets the rules, guides the players on their adventure and governs the game. The game includes an "entire universe of settings, rules, creatures and artifacts scattered throughout books, magazines and other publications [.] (Sweetpea vs. Hasbro, 2013)" In 1974, Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson published the first D&D under the section Tactics. Studies Rules, Inc., later TSR, Inc. (“TSR”). Courtney Solomon, one of Sweetpea's majority shareholders, has wanted to turn D&D into a feature film ever since she experimented with role-playing. When he discovered that no one had acquired the film rights to D&D, he contacted TSR and submitted a proposal. After two years of proposal after proposal and extensive negotiations, TSR and Sweetpea entered into an Option Agreement dated May 3, 1991 (the "Option Agreement"). Has Sweetpea exercised the option and arrived at an Irrevocable Exclusive License... middle of paper... or choose the path of litigation? I do not know. He may not have read the contract, but for a large company with an army of lawyers, Hasbro isn't the type to miss something like that. He saw something we didn't see. Or maybe it's just a tactical way to delay production of Sweetpea's fourth D&D movie. It may be that Hasbro is exhausting all of Sweetpea's resources in this litigation to permanently cancel the fourth D&D film and effectively restore the rights to the sequel to Hasbro. There are many possibilities and evidence that have not been discovered, and questions that only a jury can answer. For now, Sweetpea wins this case, as its arguments are more solid and convincing. Supported only by the Agreement and performance of the contract, Sweetpea retains all rights to the license to the D&D property as set forth in the original Agreement and the First and Second Amendments.
