Don Roser filed suit against the estate of Joe Papp and Papp International claiming that his court order and agreements with Papp would have standing in the case and he would be able to gain some compensation either financial, property or intellectual. However, the judge did not see it that way and said the Roser did not have standing and the case was dismissed. The background section of the document is a good summary of the legal actions that occurred in California courts around Papp and Roser.
