Devin McRae’s NBC, Onza Partners Copyright Lawsuit Featured in The Hollywood Reporter
Devin McRae’s representation of Spanish producer Onza Partners was featured in Ashley Cullins’ Hollywood Reporter article “Spanish Producer Fires Back at Motion to Dismiss ‘Timeless’ Lawsuit,” which details the company’s suit against Sony and NBC Universal over the hit sci-fi drama “Timeless.”
“This copyright action does not deal with a fly-by-night producer alleging that his generic idea for a reality TV show was copied by a major network,” wrote Devin in an opposition to the motion to dismiss. “Instead, this case is about an infringing knock-off of a fully produced, internationally broadcast and licensed Spanish time travel adventure television series entitled ‘Ministerio del Tiempo’ created while negotiations for an American version were taking place.”
The case was also covered in Dominic Patten’s Deadline article “NBC & Sony Want ‘Timeless’ Ripoff Lawsuit Made History” and Ted Johnson’s Variety article “Producer Claims NBC’s ‘Timeless’ Infringes on Spanish Series.”
