Wendt v. Host International, Inc. (1997) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Summary

George Wendt and John Ratzenberger filed a lawsuit against Host International for using animatronic robots based on their likenesses without permission in an airport bar modeled after the TV show Cheers. The district court dismissed the case, but the appeals court reversed it. The court found that there were disputed issues of fact that needed to be decided in a trial. The court decided that the likeness of the robots to the actors had to be determined without considering the context. The district court later granted summary judgment, finding that there was no similarity between the robots and the actors. The appellants argued that the district court erred because the likeness does not have to be exact and that the jury should decide this issue. The court agreed and reversed the grant of summary judgment. Wendt v. Host International, Inc.
