Marvel Worldwide Inc. has filed suit against the heirs of Jack Kirby, asking a judge to invalidate the copyright termination notices sent to Marvel and other companies. The copyright termination notices were the first salvo in a battle by Kirby’s heirs to gain control of Kirby’s works and characters. The suit just filed by Marvel argued that Kirby’s work for Marvel was “for hire,” which would make the heirs’ claims invalid.
