Disney Wins Appeals Court Ruling Over Pooh Royalties

On another front other than the debacle at Anaheim, Disney has won what could be in a series of lawsuits/counter-lawsuits and more rulings on the royalties from Winnie the Pooh.

A California appeals court in Los Angeles, in a notice filed today, affirmed a 2004 trial judge's decision to throw out a lawsuit by Stephen Slesinger Inc., the owner of the merchandising rights to the cartoon character, after finding that Slesinger had illegally obtained evidence. The appellate judges' ruling wasn't yet available on the court's Web site.


Will there be more? I'm sure the lawyers hope so!
