Original Ghost Rider character creator Gary Friedrich has filed suit against Marvel Enterprises, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Take-Two Interactive, and numerous other companies involved in the creation and promotion of the recent Ghost Rider motion picture and video game adaptation. Friedrich currently owns the copyright to his creation despite his original 1971 agreement with Marvel (then Magazine Management Company) stipulating that the comic book publisher would own the work from the first issue forward. Marvel apparently never properly registered the Ghost Rider property with copyright authorities, and in 2001 Friedrich retained control of certain rights.
