AEW And CFX Reach Settlement In Dispute Over Merchandising Rights To Luchasaurus Mask

AEW and CFX reach a settlement. 

An order of dismissal was filed announcing AEW and Composite Effects (CFX) reached a settlement in their dispute over the merchandising rights to the Luchasaurus mask. 

CFX filed a lawsuit in December 2022, alleging that AEW and Luchasaurus (Austin Matelson) are merchandising CFX’s copyrighted mask design without permission. 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL
The Court has been made aware that the parties have reached a settlement. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice to the right, upon good cause shown, to reopen the action or to seek summary judgment enforcing the compromise if settlement is not consummated within sixty days of this order. Each party will bear its own costs. The Court retains jurisdiction for all purposes, including enforcing the settlement agreement entered into by the parties. The parties are reminded that, if witnesses have been subpoenaed, every witness must be informed by counsel not to appear.

In May, the judge denied AEW’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
