A&E, Steven Seagal Resolve Multi-Million Dollar 'Lawman' Suit

A&E Networks and Steven Seagal have amicably resolved the multi-million dollar idea-theft lawsuit over the actor's hit reality show Steven Seagal: Lawman.

In the lawsuit against A&E and Seagal, Idea Factory (and its related companies Genuine Entertainment and Rebel Entertainment Partners) argued that Seagal inked a deal with Idea Factory to do the show and that A&E agreed to an implied contract for Idea Factory to produce any Seagal program (and get executive producer fees, production rental fees and participation in revenue from the show, etc). ? Lawyers for A&E and Seagal tried to get the suit dismissed because they claimed there was no deal with Seagal to participate in the Idea Factory show and that Idea Factory's idea for a Seagal show wasn't novel. But in several rulings on summary judgment motions issued, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gregory Alarcon refused to accept A&E's and Seagal's arguments.? ?
