Righthaven copyright, trademark auction begins Monday

Source: Vegas Inc (Las Vegas Sun)

... It's also possible the buyer of the copyright assignment for the R-J editorial could demand that the R-J remove the editorial from its website or pay a licensing fee to post its own editorial.

That could put Stephens Media LLC, owner of the R-J, in the position of having to discredit the copyright assignment it earlier agreed to.

But doing so could contradict Righthaven's stance in pending appeals that the copyright assignments were valid.
