Nancy Stouffer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Stouffer went so far as to point out that (as is true) J. Rowling is a pen name adopted for the series, which she points out more like her own N. Stouffer writing moniker, claiming that this is also intentional. Stouffer claims that they did, but the court judged in the lawsuit that her evidence for this was altered. Stouffer maintains her position and denies the allegations from Rowling and Scholastic Press that resulted in the ruling. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nancy_Stouffer   (572 words)

the hogwarts wire Nancy Stouffer: At that time, as a matter of fact, and this is a very good question, someone filed suit against me for ownership of my trademark and copyrights, who was my investor at the time. Nancy Stouffer: I really don't know how to answer that, but I'll say that the vast amounts of money that we invested in my property are literally thrown to the wind, because we're incapable of marketing our products over a period of time.

Stouffer, 2002 USDL 17531 Stouffer concedes that the screenplay attached to her pleading is not a true and accurate representation of the screenplay deposited with the Copyright Office. Stouffer maintains that actual confusion has occurred and in support of that assertion points to her "receipt of numerous e-mails and letters accusing her of trying to 'steal' or capitalize on marks associated with Harry Potter." (See Souffer Surreply Memorandum at 5-6 (emphasis in original)). Stouffer recognizes that the version of the draft agreement that she submitted with her counterclaims was altered, although she denies altering the document herself. www.authorslawyer.com /case/02USDL17531.html   (9865 words)

Review of Stauffer's Book Nancy Stouffer has been talking for months about what she considers suspicious similarities between her books and the Harry Potter books by J. Rowling. On Stouffer's Web site, she lists numerous examples of such "similarities," some of which are silly, like both authors putting a fleet of boats in their works. Stouffer's book is set in Aura, a once peaceful country now ravaged by civil war. homepage.mac.com /kia/potter/review.html   (410 words)

FindLaw Legal News - Lawyer News, Attorney News, Law News, Trial News, Bar News and More Stouffer's long and widespread use of the marks MUGGLE and MUGGLES on and in connection with her various properties, including extensive advertising, has assured that her marks have acquired recognition in the minds of consumers and are associated with Stouffer. Stouffer created and wrote, among other intellectual properties, a number of children's books and book series, the most significant of which, for the purposes of this Complaint, is titled The Legend of RAH and the Muggles. Stouffer wrote The Legend of RAH and the MUGGLES in 1984 and, over the next several years, alone and under the labels Andé Publishing Company ("Andé") and Book Cook Incorporated ("BCI"), widely distributed and showcased various versions of the property to publishing and entertainment industry agents, some of whom are now employed by Scholastic. news.findlaw.com /hdocs/docs/jkrowling/stouffercmplnt.html   (5997 words)

Scholastic Inc. v. Stouffer Stouffer also refers for the first time to communications between her publicist and the producer of a television program appearing on the CNN Network, owned by TWE, whose producer requested that the publicist not send press releases because the program would never cover Stouffer's story. Stouffer is the author of several works based on a set of characters called "Muggles," which were created by Stouffer, in particular The Legend of RAH and the Muggles, a children's book containing the Muggles characters which was first published in the 1980s. While Stouffer has not provided the context of the statements, the record clearly reflects that such statements would be "'readily understood as conjecture, hypothesis, or speculation," which "signals the [observer] that what is said is opinion, and not fact," particularly in light of plaintiffs' factual and legal assertions in the context of this lawsuit. pub.bna.com /ptcj/9911480.htm   (6265 words)

The Legend of Rah and the Muggles: An In-Depth Review Stouffer doesn't seem to have a grasp on what conversations she should convey (because they're interesting and advance the story) and which ones she should not (because they drag on, are annoying, and don't advance the story). Stouffer claims that the publication and success of J. Rowling's Harry Potter series has prevented her from having her own book published (further suggesting that this edition, like the others, is self-published), mostly due to the confusion about the term "Muggles" but also because of a claimed similarity between the two plots. It's pretty clear, when looking at Stouffer's website, that she considers this book and her other work to be quality literature, the kind of work that would be an asset to every child's library. www.magespace.net /mugrev.html   (5230 words)

Muggle Versus Wizard Nancy Stouffer claims that J.K. Rowling, British author of the explosively popular Harry Potter books, lifted several names -- like Muggles and Potter -- and situations from Stouffer's self-published books in the 1980s, and fobbed them off as her own. For her part, Rowling says she has never heard of Nancy Stouffer's books. In the late 1980s, Stouffer says the books were selling so well and licensing agreements were flooding in at such a rate that she projected annual earnings of an astonishing $1 billion. www.cesnur.org /2001/potter/march_13.htm   (1633 words)

BBC NEWS Entertainment Rowling wins Potter plagiarism case Pennsylvania-based writer Nancy Stouffer claimed Rowling had lifted ideas from her own book The Legend of Rah and the Muggles and wanted to be recognised as Harry Potter's creator. Ms Stouffer accused Rowling of lifting the term Muggles, a name given to non-magical humans in Harry Potter but used to describe mythical characters in her book which was published in the mid-80s. In Stouffer's The Legend of Rah and the Muggles, which features a character named Larry Potter, the muggles are little people who care for two orphaned boys who magically turn their dark homeland into a happy place. news.bbc.co.uk /2/hi/entertainment/2268024.stm   (409 words)

Magical authors go to war on custody of Muggles Nancy Stouffer, who published The Legend of Rah and the Muggles in 1984, has filed suit in Pennsylvania accusing Ms Rowling of giving her characters "suspiciously similar" names and even stealing her now-famous term for humans who lack magical powers, Muggles. But Nancy K. Stouffer of Camp Hill, Pa., argues in her federal lawsuit that ideas for the “Potter” series were lifted from her 1984 book “The Legend of Rah and Muggles,” which includes a character named Larry Potter. Stouffer believes Rowling may have come across it when she was on a work-study exchange in Baltimore in 1987 and 1988. www.cesnur.org /recens/potter_019.htm   (1067 words)

The Legend of Rah and the Muggles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The story introduces Stouffer's version of 'Muggles': mutant descendants -- bald, huge-headed, small, childish -- of the people left behind in the island nation of Aura, many generations ago, when the wealthy deserted it and them in the wake of a nuclear war. The Legend of Rah and the Muggles is a novel written by N.K. Stouffer, the author who is most famous for unsuccessfully suing Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling over the use of the word 'Muggles'. Since that time Aura has been covered with a purple haze through which sunlight can barely trickle but moonlight, paradoxically, can pass undimmed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Legend_of_Rah_and_the_Muggles   (284 words)

Nancy Stouffer's Claims Nancy Stouffer, who wrote "The Legend Of RAH And The Muggles," is suing R.K. Rowling, Scolastic Publishing and Warner Brothers, charging that the Harry Potter series are plagerisms of her original work. Stouffer has a website which promotes her side of the argument and I have not seen the argument in detail given by the Harry Potter side, although Rawling claims never to have read Stouffer's work. Stouffer's work, based on the introduction which she presents on her website, is not very well written. homepage.mac.com /kia/potter/stouffer.html   (280 words)

News: Nancy Stouffer ruling upheld Stouffer was hit with a $50,000 sanction in the original ruling, which has been upheld, because the judge concluded that Stouffer had "perpetrated a fraud on the Court through her submission of fraudulent documents as well as through her untruthful testimony." Stouffer is also responsible for undoubtedly sizable attorney's fees for both parties in the original case and this appeal. Nancy deserves to pay the sanction for commiting fraud after she altered evidence in order to support her case. www.hpana.com /news.cfm?nid=17860&rss=10   (1333 words)

Thurman House to Publish Stouffer Titles - 3/19/2001 - Publishers Weekly Thurman House, a newly formed publishing affiliate of the Baltimore book producer Ottenheimer Publishers, has reached an agreement with author Nancy Stouffer to republish The Legend of Rah and the Muggles as well as other Stouffer children's titles. Stouffer contends that she first published a Muggles book in 1984 and trademarked the Muggles name in 1986 (News, Mar. 13, 2000). Scholastic and Stouffer have traded lawsuits over the use of the Muggles characters, with Stouffer claiming that J.K. Rowling and Scholastic infringed her trademark by including the Muggles in Rowling's Harry Potter titles. www.publishersweekly.com /article/CA83600.html?pubdate=3/19/2001&display=archive   (387 words)

KEVIN CASEY, NANCY STOUFFER'S ATTORNEY: I think there is no doubt that author Rowling has taken characters and scenes from a number of different sources, some of them create no problem, such as the mythology that you mentioned, Greta, and some other sources, including other works, earlier works of writings of other people.

Rowland's supposed "Infringements" on Stouffer. Looking at Stouffer's use I'd guess it came from "huggable," as in the cutesy appearance of her illustrations (which instantly reminded me of alien Teletubbies with rabbit kinda faces). Stouffer's book illustrations would lead me to believe ages 6 to 9, not 6 to 12. I'd heard the story of this lady and the supposed infringement JK Rowland had done to her book, and wanted to check it out after reading the first four of the Harry Potter series. www.r88.com /Potter   (1088 words)
