See below for the two latest filings in the CP Productions v. John Doe lawsuit. One of the John Doe defendants, filing simply as an IP address, filed an objection that the subpoena is “an invasion of privacy.” What do you think of Plaintiff’s response that peer-to-peer file-sharers have limited privacy interest? Let’s see if any of the other defendants file a more substantive objection.

Stay tuned for updates.

They own the rights to 5 brands, including Red Carpet Inn, Passport Inn, Master Hosts Inns, Downtowner Inns and the subject of this lawsuit, Scottish Inns. Defendant has allegedly been operating under the Scottish Inns brand without authorization since 2009.

After Defendant failed to timely respond to Plaintiff’s cease-and-desist letter (see below), this lawsuit was filed, claiming trademark infringement and unjust enrichment.

Architectural drawings are copyrightable. In this matter, Defendant has allegedly used Plaintiff’s architectural drawings without authorization. Note that the court’s scanned copy is missing Page 9 (and many of the pages are askew), so there’s a third claim I did not reference.

Let me know in the comments if you’re interested in updates to this case.
