"Paramount Prevails: 'Top Gun: Maverick' Copyright Lawsuit Dismissed"
TL;DR Summary
A lawsuit claiming that the film "Top Gun: Maverick" borrowed too much from a 1983 magazine article has been dismissed by a US District Judge in Los Angeles. The judge ruled that the sequel was not "substantially similar" to the original article, and Paramount Pictures stated that the plaintiffs' claims were without merit. The heirs of the article's author, Ehud Yonay, plan to appeal the decision, arguing that they deserve a share of the sequel's profits.
