Venice, CA – Doniger / Burroughs, representing the owner of certain cult horror and science fiction films from the 1950s, has resolved a dispute regarding these titles. The dispute arose when unlicensed copies of the films Invasion of the Saucer-Men and The Amazing Colossal Man began appearing in both English- and Italian-language versions for sale through a film distributor. These copies were unlicensed and unauthorized, and Doniger / Burroughs filed a copyright infringement action to address this unlawful distribution. This week the matter settled amicably.

The owner of the films was represented by Scott A. Burroughs and Trevor W. Barrett.
