An independent movie producer with rights to the horror movie George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead sued video game maker Capcom Co Ltd on Monday in the latest salvo in a copyright dispute.
The producer, MKR Group, alleged that Capcom's popular Dead Rising game was essentially a computer game version of its Dawn of the Dead movies.
Earlier this month, Capcom filed a case against MKR in a California federal court, seeking a declaration that the game did not infringe on MKR's intellectual property rights. It also sought an injunction to prevent MKR from suing the company.
