Supreme Court won’t review copyright fight over Paramount’s ‘What Men Want’

The U.S. Supreme Court won’t weigh in on a copyright fight over the Paramount Pictures movie “What Men Want.”

Carlini sued Paramount in 2019 in a California district court for copyright infringement and unfair competition, alleging his 2014 script “What the F is He Thinking” was the basis of its 2019 romantic comedy featuring Taraji P. Henson.
