Receiver says Righthaven ‘uncooperative’ in surrendering copyrights

Source: Vegas Inc (Las Vegas Sun)

A court-appointed receiver asked a federal judge for guidance Tuesday after Las Vegas copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC balked at surrendering its copyrights to her for auction.

Lake Tahoe-area attorney Lara Pearson last month was named Righthaven’s receiver with orders to auction its copyrights, trademark, website domain name and physical assets to raise cash to cover at least part of a Righthaven defendant’s legal fees.

... Pearson, in the meantime, reported Tuesday to U.S. District Judge Philip Pro in Las Vegas that her negotiations with Righthaven for the company to turn over its 278 federal copyright registrations, trademark and physical assets, including office equipment, had been unsuccessful.

... Also, lawsuit records obtained Tuesday confirmed that Righthaven is being sued by a process server in Las Vegas over allegedly unpaid bills.
