This was really interesting. It must have been a beast to research and organize all this information haha

So was all the stuff you uncovered pre-70s more historical research (books and contemporaneous articles) and then you had access to materials through legal research after that? Also, why were those earlier California court documents unpublished? No precedent set?
Everything Pre-1970s was historical research, but keep in mind there wasn't any litigation till the time of the remake around the mid 1970s..
California's decision may have been published, but it's not in any that was picked up online, like the Nintendo case was, but I haven't been able to find any information beyond a citation. . I don't think it set any precedent as I haven't come across any citations of the case.
I don't know if you read the book Living Dangerously be Mark Cotta Vaz but its an interesting read. He was able to read various documents from the 1976 cases and sat down with Cooper's lawyer where he culled alot of info. . It would be nice to score an interview with him. His name is Randy Merritt. In regards to the 1976 case, he was told by Merritt that the copyright action could not have been brought in the state court because the federal court has jurisdiction over claims brought under the Federal Copyright act. This was in regards to the the 1970s trial occurring in California and the 1980s trial occurring In New
York state
Website doesnt exist.
I’m really confused... when can anyone make a King Kong story. Is it going to be public domain
