Leslie Weller has sued<\/a>\u00a0Gillian Flynn, author of the book Gone Girl, and a host of others for infringing Wellers’s copyright in a novel titled Out of the Blue.\u00a0 What is interesting about this case (aside from the fact that every successful movie seems to be based upon copyright infringement) is the case for access by defendant.\u00a0 Plaintiff emailed her script to a consultant whose books were edited by who was represented by the Levine Greenberg\u00a0 who also represented defendant Flynn\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plaintiff’s claim is on its face plausible, but so convoluted, that defendant may be able to break the chain.\u00a0 However, this Complaint, and others like it, are a reminder of the importance of keeping records of development, whether its a story as here, or a computer program or some other work, to be able to prove independent creation.<\/p>\n

Plaintiff’s Complaint does identify a number of similarities in between Gone Girl and Out of the Blue, and it will be interesting to see the defendants response.\u00a0 If there was no infringement, hopefully defendants have records to show the independent creation.<\/p>\n
