Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Frimpong denies in part a comic book co-creator and writer's motion for summary judgment regarding a colorist's allegations of copyright infringement. The colorist alleges that he is a co-writer of the comic book "Invincible," that he owns a portion of the copyright, and that he is owed royalties on derivative works based on "Invincible." The statute of limitations bars the colorist's copyright and fraud claims, but a factual dispute exists regarding the initial agreement and the colorist's compensation. Neither the breach of contract claim nor the claims for declaratory relief as to the Certificate of Authorship are time-barred. The colorist "seeks either to invalidate the Certificate of Authorship on the basis that it lacked consideration or to clarify the meaning and scope of the Certificate of Authorship and oral contract."
