Judge refuses offer.
EA has won its court case against the estate of bank robber and gangster John Dillinger.
EA was sued for calling a Thompson submachine gun clone “The Dillinger”. The Dillinger estate claimed ownership of the name and said EA hadn’t asked permission – meanie.
The Dillinger estate wanted the courts to retroactively grant 1996’s right-to-publicity for Dillinger’s name and possessions.
