Showtime beats Billions lawsuit
and that series co-creator Andrew Ross Sorkin asked her to help develop the character and she was never compensated. Showtime asked U.S. District Judge George Daniels to toss the complaint arguing, among other things that the works and the women are nothing alike.
Daniels on Friday sided with the network — finding that the nature of the works and Shull/Rhoades aren't substantially similar. "[T]his Court cannot identify any copying," writes Daniels, who goes on to explain that in-house performance coaches like the fictional Rhoades aren't rare on Wall Street.
"Although Shull is well known in the performance coaching world, it cannot be said that she can copyright the idea of a female in-house performance coach," writes Daniels, explaining that a finding of copyright infringement would essentially grant Shull a monopoly on the concept and would be even more troubleing because "the character of Denise and Wendy do not resemble one another in the slightest.
Daniels also tossed Shull's state law claims claims because they arise from the alleged copying, and claims for breach of implied-in-fact contract and unjust enrichment because they fail on the merits. this statement in response to the decision: "We are pleased that the court agreed with our position all along that BILLIONS did not infringe on Denise Shull’s book and that the characters of Wendy Rhoades and Denise Shull 'do not resemble one another in the slightest.
