Capcom Sued Over Dead Rising
Dawn of the Dead George A. Romero’s sued video game maker Capcom Co on Monday in the latest salvo in a copyright dispute. The producer called the poplular game Dead Rising “a computer game version of Dawn of the Dead”
According to Reuter earlier this month, Capcom filed a case against MKR in a California federal court, seeking a declaration that the game did not infringe on MKR’s intellectual property rights.
Richard Rubinstein, who produced the 1979 horror film and was a senior producer of a 2004 remake, is the principal shareholder and president of the MKR Group, according to MKR’s complaint.
MKR sued the Japanese company and two U.S. units for copyright and trademark infringement and other claims. A Capcom spokesman for Chris Kramer declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Capcom’s “Dead Rising” game was released in August 2006 for Microsoft Corp’s XBox 360 and had shipped more than a million units by the end of 2006.
