This legal case involves a claim of copyright infringement under the Copyright Act of 1976.

The plaintiff argues that the show's creators had access to their work through various platforms and that the show's characters, scenes, and themes are substantially similar to those in the copyrighted work. The plaintiff is seeking damages, profits, and other relief, including an injunction to prevent further infringement. Additionally, the plaintiff has requested a trial by jury.
