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

via AOL), Missy Chase Lapine has sued Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld over the flap concerning the similarities between her cookbook,
The Sneaky Chef, and Mrs. Seinfeld's cookbook,
Deceptively Delicious.
Jessica is accused of plagiarizing Lapine's book. But why is Jerry included in the suit? Because Lapine has decided that in the process of defending his wife in various TV appearances, Jerry defamed her by accusing her of being
a "wacko" and a stalker. In fact, the suit specifically mentions Jerry's appearance on
Letterman where the w-word was uttered.
