Cassandra Clare's City of Bones gets new 10th anniversary cover https://t.co/ny3Qtmo2SQ
— Entertainment Weekly (@EW) 27 June 2017
After February 2016, Kenyon amended her complaint to withdraw "character / plotline similarities" and moved on with trademark infringement. Then apparently, Cassie filed a motion to dismiss that literally begins with this paragraph:
"This lawsuit is another example of an unfortunate and all-too-common blight on the creative fields: a successful author (or songwriter, film producer, etc.) is sued by a disgruntled would-be competitor on trumped-up claims for the purpose of cashing in on the success of that author." (which is, in my words, lol)
As a reminder, Cassie's first announcements of City of Bones carried the name Dark Hunter as some users on the famous debacle's comments mentioned, but later changed to be Shadowhunters as Kenyon was understandably disturbed by it. In the end, the motion to dismiss was granted in part with respect to "unfair competition" and denied in part in all other aspects; in other words, the lawsuit is alive and kicking. Pacermonitor tells me that the jury trial set for 9/11/2018.
