United Artists Corp. & LPAA v. La Cage Aux Folles, Inc.

La cage aux folles 1978 film
Danon produced and owns rights in the motion pictures “La Cage Aux Folles” and “La Cage Aux Folles II.” Both films depict a nightclub featuring female impersonators. This action arose in 1981 when defendant Paciocco opened a nightclub in Los Angeles known as “La Cage Aux Folles.”

The club’s featured entertainment includes a floor show by female impersonators. Danon, along with two corporations not parties to this appeal, brought suit against Paciocco, La Cage and a subsequently dismissed individual, contending that they violated federal and state unfair competition, trademark, and copyright laws by copying the name, characters, and distinctive features of the films.

Judgment: Plaintiff’s case is Dismissed with prejudice.
