LucasFilm Ltd., George Lucas's famed film studio that was recently acquired by Walt Disney Co., is taking issue with Digital Domain Media Group Inc.'s proposed intellectual-property sale, saying that its agreement with Digital Domain to use its three-dimensional patents in an already-completed project cannot be severed by the sale, Dow Jones DBR Small Cap reported today. LucasFilm entered an agreement with Digital Domain predecessor In Three Inc. in May 2006, it said in court documents filed Thursday, which allowed LucasFilm to use In Three's patented technology for a "specified project."
