Open Road Responds To HarperCollins lawsuit

Digital publisher Open Road filed an answer to HarperCollins’ complaint against the digital publisher surrounding the rights to the eBook edition of Julie of the Wolves.

HarperCollins is suing Open Road claiming that a 1971 contract with author Jean Craighead George gives them the rights to the eBook.

Open Road released the following statement: ” We are confident that we have secured all necessary eBook rights from the author Jean Craighead George and that we will prevail.  HarperCollins’ claim is nothing but an attempt to seize rights that were never granted to it and to change the existing law with respect to eBook rights.
