Ellison, Paramount Settle

Star Trek Lawsuit

Writer Harlan Ellison announced on his Website on Thursday that his lawsuit against Paramount over uses of his script for the City on the Edge of Forever episode of the original Star Trek series (see “Harlan Ellison Sues Paramount”) has been settled.  “I am pleased with the outcome,” he said. 

The suit had alleged that Ellison hadn’t been paid for secondary uses of his teleplay, including a trilogy of novels and a holiday ornament.
