Navigating the delicate legal boundary between thematic inspiration and copyright infringement is one of the most complex challenges in modern entertainment portfolio management. In a highly anticipated ruling, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of a high-profile copyright lawsuit targeting Paramount Pictures over the $1.5 billion blockbuster sequel, Top Gun: Maverick. The decision brings vital administrative clarity to studio franchises dealing with long-term intellectual property chains.

The Legal Filtration: Why the Appellate Court Ruled for Paramount
The lawsuit, brought forward by the heirs of journalist Ehud Yonay—whose 1983 magazine article “Top Guns” inspired the original 1986 film—claimed the 2022 sequel infringed on their newly reclaimed copyright after they terminated Paramount’s original license in 2020. However, the three-judge appellate panel completely rejected the claim, citing critical statutory IP principles:

The Fallacy of High Abstraction: The court ruled that the plaintiffs described the alleged similarities between the article and the movie at “such a high level of abstraction” that the overlapping elements were entirely unprotectable. In intellectual property law, an author cannot establish a monopoly over a broad topic, historical event, or factual subject matter.
Unprotectable Scènes à Faire: While both the 1983 article and the 2022 film featured elite Navy fighter pilots training in San Diego, drinking at local bars, and executing complex aerial maneuvers, the court recognized these as standard, real-world genre elements (scènes à faire). Because these details are naturally inherent to the subject of military aviation, they are legally barred from exclusive copyright ownership.

Substantial Addition of Original Expression: The 9th Circuit emphasized that Top Gun: Maverick introduced massive, highly distinct plot structures entirely absent from the original journalistic piece. The sequel’s core narrative drivers—including Captain Pete Mitchell returning as an older instructor, his complex psychological relationship with his late wingman’s son, and specific romantic subplots—created an independent, non-infringing work.

The Boundaries of Factual Contracts: The panel also confirmed that Paramount was under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide an on-screen credit to Yonay for the sequel. The original 1983 rights agreement did not contain provisions extending credit mandates to future, distinct derivative franchises.

A Twin Victory: The Dismissal of the New York “Cousin” Script Suit
The 9th Circuit’s validation arrived alongside another massive legal victory for the franchise in New York. A separate, high-stakes lawsuit brought by digital artist and writer Shaun Gray—who claimed he covertly co-wrote key action sequences for the sequel without receiving proper compensation or credit—was also completely dismissed by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff.
Judge Rakoff ruled that Gray’s copyright claims were completely invalid because his alleged script was an unauthorized, infringing derivative work entirely based on Paramount’s pre-existing, legally protected Top Gun characters and settings. Crucially, the court cleared the way for Paramount to aggressively pursue its own countersuit against Gray for fraud and copyright infringement at trial, penalizing his attempt to conceal his involvement until the movie became a massive commercial hit.

The Strategic Takeaway for Global Brand Management
“Your brand is who you are.” For international enterprises, content creators, and corporate studios, these landmark rulings establish an essential blueprint for defending extensive IP portfolios. It proves that as long as a sequel or spin-off infuses a franchise with significant, original creative expression, historical inspiration alone cannot be leveraged to freeze commercial momentum.
