Disney is facing a trial over allegations of improperly using MOVA Contour Reality Capture technology in movies such as Beauty and the Beast, Guardians of the Galaxy, and multiple Avengers installments. The lawsuit revolves around the ownership and licensures of MOVA, with Disney being sued for vicarious liability. The trial will determine whether Disney should be held responsible for DD3's alleged infringement of MOVA. The outcome of the trial may impact a portion of Disney's profits for Beauty and could potentially lead to another trial involving Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
