It's been a while since we brought you news that Jessica Seinfeld (Jerry's wife) was being sued for copyright infringement and trademark violations for her book Deceptively Delicious. Author Missy Chase Lapine had accused Seinfeld of copying from her book, The Sneaky Chef, which came out several months before Seinfeld's similar book. Both books feature ways to get your kids to eat healthier foods.The judge said that, yeah, there are similarities between the two books but not enough to prove Lapine's case.
Lapine has also sued HarperCollins (her book was rejected by them twice - and they were the ones who published Seinfeld's book later) and she still has a defamation suit against the male half of the Seinfeld team because he insulted her on The Late Show with David Letterman. He called her a "stalker" and a "wacko."
I remember watching the show that night and cringing a bit because I knew it would cause him trouble, either personally or legally. I guess we'll have to see what happens with the other two suits.
