o WWE Sues THQ, Jakks Over Wrestling Video Games

Agoura Hills, Calif. - Video game publishers THQ and Jakks Pacific have announced that World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) filed suit against the companies on Oct. 12 in Connecticut state court, alleging improper sales of WWE video games in Japan and other countries in Asia. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and a termination of the license WWE granted to THQ and Jakks in 1998 to make branded wrestling video games. "We believe the lawsuit is without merit and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously," THQ and Jakks said in a statement. The three companies have been involved in an ongoing dispute regarding the video game license, which WWE also alleged in a separate lawsuit filed in 2004 in New York was obtained through a "commercial bribery scheme."
