On January 15, 1984, Tatsunoko granted plaintiff Harmony Gold U.S.A., Inc.
("Harmony Gold") a license to market all products in the United States based on
the Macross designs except for Japanese plastic model kits. Harmony Gold
subsequently acquired co-ownership of the copyrights in both the original
Macross designs and any [*3] derivative works. Harmony Gold has incorporated
the Macross designs into an animated television series entitled "Robotech."
Additionally, Harmony Gold has marketed, through its sublicensees, a broad array
of "Robotech" products including publications, actions figures and toys.
[*3] derivative works.
THIS COURT RULING SURE SAYS A LOT.
