January 1, 1979

DC Comics v. Powers

482 F.Supp. 494 (S.D.N.Y. 1979)

We began a series of cases in which we expanded protection for entertainment properties under Section 43(a), the U.S. Trademark Act’s unfair competition provision. In this decision, the Court prohibited the unauthorized use of the term “Daily Planet,” a well-known ingredient in plaintiff’s “Superman” stories and comic books.
