“U Wins Infringement Suit
Against Nu-Cards, Korn
NEW YORK — Universal Pictures’ suit
against Nu-Cards, Inc., and Alexander
Korn for copyright infringement of Uni-
versal’s stills of scenes from certain of the
company’s “horror-monster” pictures by
Nu-Cards’ publication of miniature re-
production of the stills as trading cards
ended September 22 with the entry of a
consent decree against the two defendants.
Under the terms of the decree the de-
fendants were permanently enjoined not
only from reproducing the particular stills
on Nu-Cards’ trading cards but also from
reproducing any of the horror-monsters
depicted on those stills in any form.
Nu-Cards and Korn also consented to
pay damages in the sum of $2,500 to Uni-
versal, the plaintiff-copyright owner. The
stills involved were from such Universal
pictures as “Blood of the Vampire,” “The
Man Who Couldn’t Die,” “Revenge of the
Creature,” “Horror of Dracula,” “Abbott
and Costello Meet Frankenstein” and “The
Mummy.”
Universal was represented by Sargoy &
Stein, New York law firm, while Cowan,
Liebowitz, Emmanuel & Latman repre-
sented the defendants. “
