  Fox Film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fox Film Corporation was an American company which produced motion pictures, formed in 1915 when founder William Fox merged two companies he had established in 1913: Greater New York Film Rental, a distribution firm, which was part of the Independents; and Fox (or Box, depending on the source) Office Attractions Company, a production company.
William Fox lost control over the company after the Stock Market Crash of 1929, in 1930, during a hostile takeover.

 20th Century Fox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The company is the result of a 1935 merger of two entities, Fox Film Corporation founded by William Fox in 1915, and Twentieth Century Pictures, begun in 1933 by Darryl F. Zanuck, Joseph Schenck, Raymond Griffith and William Goetz.
Fox Film, with more than five-hundred theatres, was placed in receivership; a bank-mandated reorganisation propped the company up for a time, but it was clear a merger was the only way Fox Film could survive.
Fox held on to its theaters until a court-mandated divorce; they were spun off as Fox National Theaters in 1953.

 Fox Broadcasting Company
The FOX Television Network was established, amidst shock, controversy, legal wrangling and uncertainty in 1985.
The founding of the FOX Broadcasting Company must be placed within a context of the general economic uncertainty and decline of network television.
FOX's vertically integrated structure (a combination of 20th Century-Fox, FOX Network and Fox Stations) is also well suited to produce and distribute a large number of quality shows.

 Fox/20th Century Fox > The German-Hollywood Connection
The new corporation with its imposing name had evolved from the somewhat less impressive sounding Greater New York Film Rental Company begun by Fox in 1904 with the purchase of a run-down penny arcade in Brooklyn.
Although Fox left school at the age of eleven, he worked hard and was making a modest living in the garment business when he bought the humble nickelodeon that would make him a millionaire.
Just as Fox was about to purchase a controlling interest in Loew's MGM in 1929, things came crashing down on him.

 Murray Hill Publications, Inc., v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, 361 F.3d 312 (6th Cir. 2004)
On appeal, Fox argues that it was entitled to summary judgment on the issue of substantial similarity, that the trial was tainted by improper expert testimony by Murray Hill’s expert witness and by misleading jury instructions, necessitating a new trial, and that the damages awarded were unsupported in law or fact.
Fox appeals on the basis of the denial of its pre- and post-verdict motions for judgment as a matter of law on the issue of substantial similarity.
Fox’s principal basis for requesting judgment as a matter of law is the six-page “treatment” that Kornfield registered prior to the time that Murray Hill could establish, directly or inferentially by means of striking similarity, that Fox had access to the CTBC screenplay.

 Fox Theatre--Atlanta: A National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary
Although the Fox has been classified as a variety of architectural styles, including Neo-Mideastern Eclectic, Neo-Mideastern Exotic, and Islamic Revival architecture, the Fox does not fit typical architectural style definitions because it is really fantasy architecture.
The Fox includes features and details borrowed from historic mosques constructed from the 10th to the 16th centuries all the way from southern Spain to north Africa, the Mideast, and northern India.
The Fox was a successful theater for longer than most American movie palaces which had to compete with suburban development, drive-in movies, and television in the 1950s.

 AlterNet: MediaCulture: Fox News: Unfair and Unbalanced
After that period the right to use the trademark becomes "incontestable" and virtually invulnerable, and its holder is entitled to prevent anyone else from using it, under penalty of legal prosecution, virtually forever, and regardless of whether the trademark was legitimately registered or not.
In our challenge to Fox, one may wonder why it was left solely to our relatively small web magazine to pick up the trampled banner of journalistic integrity and carry it – right to the very gates of the mighty Murdoch media empire.
We felt that Fox's false and misleading claim of being "fair and balanced'" was an affront, a slap in the face, to us and to all the other honest and hardworking journalists who devote their lives (sometimes even lose their lives) to the gathering and reporting of news that truly is "fair and balanced."

Cape Fox argues that Martinezs interpretation of AS 10.06.463 would undermine the objective of the statute by permitting a dishonest director to thwart a suit to bar him by resigning from the board before trial.

 20th Century Fox Records
The 20th Century Fox Film Corporation was formed in 1935 through a merger of Darryl Zanuck's Twentieth Century Pictures and William Fox's Fox Studios, who produced the Movietone Newsreels.
The financial story of 20th Century Fox Films before the 1980s is not one of unending success, as several times between 1913, when William Fox started his company, and the 1980s the corporation was in dire financial straits (including 1935, when the merger with Zanuck took place).
Although 20th Century Fox was hardly a "major" label in the sense that longtime players like Decca, Capitol, Columbia, RCA, or even relative newcomer Atlantic were, they were backed by a large corporation and should have been more successful than they turned out to be, especially in the 1960s.
