Prices slashed on Righthaven copyrights up for auction; trademark sells for $1,025

Source: Vegas Inc (Las Vegas Sun)

Certain copyrights seized from Righthaven LLC of Las Vegas are being offered at auction for a minimum bid of $50 apiece — a 50 percent discount.

Lara Pearson, the court-appointed attorney auctioning Righthaven assets for the benefit of creditors owed $188,927, said Thursday that Righthaven’s trademark sold in the latest auction this week on eBay for $1,025. She didn’t immediately identify the buyer.

Pearson has launched a new auction for 17 federal copyright registrations seized from Righthaven covering two adult movies and 15 pieces of outdated sports betting material originally created by a company called Stevo Design.

A copyright for a Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial had been part of this week’s auction, but it didn’t sell and it was removed from the auction for undisclosed reasons.
