Arguments Conclude in Disney-MGM Suit: Lawyers for Walt Disney and Metro Goldwyn Mayer quit roaring over who can use MGM’s celebrated name and logo on studio theme parks and turned the non-jury lawsuit over to the judge. Superior Court Judge Curtis Rappe must decide if Disney broke a 1985 licensing deal with MGM by building a working studio at its Disney-MGM Studios tour in Florida. Rappe must also rule on Disney’s countersuit that says MGM Grand Inc., a separate company from the studio, is violating Disney’s exclusive right to put the MGM name on a studio theme park by using it on a Las Vegas theme park.
