'50/50' Suit: Did Seth Rogen's Movie Steal Its Title In the Music Label?

Finally, some movie suit news that doesn't involve 'The Hangover Part II.' In line with the Hollywood Reporter, Eastland Group has filed a suit in the filmmakers of '50/50,' proclaiming the film's title was stolen. EMG states it's been while using the "50/50" and "Phifty-50" title since 2000, which there's a typical law trademark on "50/50" (meaning the title is "never formally registered but potentially still known as intellectual property whether or not this was utilized continuously"). The label initially sent a request for the studio in September (the film was released on Sept. 30) to avoid using '50/50.' Clearly, that didn't work. THR also states that EMG is demanding "an enduring injunction against standby time with the title, the destruction of products where '50-50' is attached, plus an award of all of the film's sales and revenues consequently in the alleged breach." '50/50' has presently made $34 million. So ... meaning the complaintant wants everything? Unsure on whether EMG is suing individuals who make bets on gold gold coin movies.
