 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
Fox and his "personal assistant" (nowadays, Wurtzel would be known as CEO, or "studio head"), paint a dramatic, cartoonish, sometimes hilarious, sometimes pitiable view of what it was like to work in the film industry in 1917.
Fox wasn't exactly a generous boss; although his "precious" letters were always addressed "My Dear Sol," the pretentiousness of his formal and contrived language is quickly recognizable as just that.
Fox was eventually ousted from his own corporation, and Wurtzel stayed on, producing successful B movies and launching many careers.

She is the grand-niece of Sol M. Wurtzel, and, along with Sol's daughter, Lillian Wurtzel Semenov, she put together and found a publisher for the correspondence that took place between Sol and William Fox in the early days of the Fox Film Corporation.
And despite all he contributed to the film industry, including the style and look of film itself as clearly depicted in the colorful correspondence and can easily be observed and compared, those in power never empowered him nor credited him.
The correspondence reveals all of the behind-the-scenes drama that was occurring in the company at that time-- employees stealing raw film, tempermental stars asking for advances for their "mothers' operations" and then skipping town, etc. Some of the confidential letters were even written in coded telegrams.

 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation v Patricia Benstein - Case No. 102962
Complainant contends that as Respondent is located in Australia, she was very likely aware of Fox Studios Australia and registered the domain name in question to intentionally cause consumer confusion with Fox Studios’ mark and create a false sense of source, sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement with Fox Studios.
Respondent further contends that it is not true that “Fox Studios” is always associated with Complainant for a Yahoo search often turns up numerous entities which are unrelated to Complainant.
Complainant has alleged and Respondent has not denied, that Respondent has no registered trademark for Fox Studios, that she is not a licensee or in any way affiliated with Complainant, that her surname is not “Fox” and that at no point has she ever been commonly known by the name “Fox” or “Fox Studios.”
