  • Yes: Litigation over intellectual property rights to an entertainment-related product, primarily music and film.


  • What do you mean by "entertainment litigation"? Litigation where an entertainer is a party? Litigation over entertainment contracts and royalty agreements? Litigation over intellectual property rights to an entertainment-related product, such as music, film, or cartoon characters? Or something else?
