Zaentz countersues the Estate - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think we're losing sight that the lawsuit isn't about the claim "we're the reason the Lord of the Rings is a popular brand over the past 4 decades."

Zaent Co.'s countersuit is they are not in breach of contract by putting LOTR and Hobbit characters on gambling machines, and the Estate already agreed to allow this type of merchandising. The "over 4 decades" seems like one of those ridiculous, blustery statements you get from spokespersons and lawyers.
