Rik asked me to post if I saw any more articles about law cases regarding idea protection.
Just read a story of Jayme Gordon surviving summary judgment motion is now going to trial whether DreamWorks stole and used his ideas and concept that became Kung Fu Panda.
From what it looks like, the trial will be a mess, with plenty of blame and problems for both sides. It'll be an interesting story seeing the value of the franchise.
