Case dismissed! Discovery and Tardigrade game "not similar"

If this is true, the judge should put him out of his misery and dismiss the case.
You can. Don't watch their videos.
That sounds kind of off to me, you know dismiss the case because of costs. If he hasn't a case then that should be the reason to dismiss it.
It seems more and more obvious that he doesn’t have a case.
Didn’t take it that way. Was going to post the link anyway and your reply was just a good place to put it.
Who'd a thunk...
Why just a month ago he was claiming that the Judge had already ruled in his favor...
When actually, he incorrectly assumed that because the Judge allowed a period of discovery, it was a ruling in his favor toward having a legitimate case.
Obviously it didn't mean that, but as his more recent post shows, his lawyer has not yet found anything to back up the claim about someone working on the show had seen his STEAM game proposal.
I'm not really sure why he's asking for help now, since the deadline has passed for his lawyer to submit any further findings.
Having just checked the court documents, there's still no ruling from the judge either way.

Just based on that post and knowing that the limited discovery is over, his lawyers must have sat him down and told him that he was likely to lose the MTD because they didn't have enough proof.
I've always thought these lawyers expected to file the suit and then CBS would settle quickly to make it go away because they wouldn't want the bad press especially after sueing Axanar. I don't think they really expected CBS to actually fight this. However CBS did fight and now they are in trouble.
Lawyers should have told him that before they ever filed.
Heh...
The only one really in "trouble' is Abdin's Bank Account.
It cost him $400 dollars alone just to file the original suit, never mind what all the extra filings required by the court for errors, probably added on to that.
His lawyers probably sent him the bill for the proceedings up to this point and he fainted.

DEAFENING SILENCE from a federal district judge on CBS/Netflix’s motion to dismiss Anas Abdin’s copyright infringement lawsuit prompts the Tardigrades creator to plead for help from, well, anyone in his effort to prove Star Trek: Discovery creators stole key ideas from his unpublished videogame.

I don't know this for a fact but I'd guess that, given the circumstances in how they came to represent him, Abdin's attorneys took this case on contingency, meaning they're the ones eating most of the costs in hopes for damages in a court win or some kind of settlement to which they'll be entitled to at least a third.Heh...

As authentic as scanlines in 2019.
Ah, you're probably right.
Obviously I'm just going by my own 'armchair reading' (as in Not a Lawyer) of all of this based on what I've found on STEAM and read in the court documents on line, but it seems as if the longer this drags out the more likely it is that Abdin's lawyers are starting to realize that risk was far bigger than anticipated.
Any guesses as to why the court may be taking this length of time to make a decision?
Also, have you seen any documents that establishes that the plaintiff's lawyers were able to find any kind of link between STEAM and a DISCOVERY employee?
(beyond the one incorrect one already given)
Would something like that even be posted by the court?

According to my research, Judge Schofield is known for taking her time in issuing rulings on motions like this. I think the less important the case, the longer it takes. Which doesn't bode well for Abdin, I think. Hence his plea for help.
