UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

WILLIAM J. DeCLEMENTE, Plaintiff

                                      VS.

COLUMBIA PICTURES INDUSTRIES, INC./ JERRY WEINTRAUB PRODUCTIONS & JERRY WEINTRAUB, Defendants

After four days in front of a jury elderly judge Arthur Spatt decided the case without the jury present in favor of the defendants. Huge conglomerates like the above defendants and the insurance company that had a hundred million dollars error and omission policy aren’t used to finding themselves on trail. DeClemente beat summary judgment and the appeal of the summary judgment. D C comics who claimed a copyright didn’t file it until 1983 long after the movie was produced and DeClemente’s patent and trademarks THE KARATE KID 1st used in interstate commerce in 1968 and a common law mark since 1963. He also owns US patent and trademarks, THE KARATE KID TRAINING CENTER & KARATE KID TRAINING VIDEOS all with incontestable status and with international rights. Was there political influence in the case? and/or was his Civil Rights violated?
