Register of Copyrights informed of Warner Bros. Consolidated Action with Disney and Universal against Midjourney

In September, Warner Bros. Discovery filed a lawsuit against Midjourney. In it, they claim the tech company “brazenly dispenses its intellectual property as if it were its own.” Warner Bros. Discovery is accusing Midjourney of producing, displaying, and distributing “unauthorized derivatives” of its intellectual property including Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, and more. Warner Bros. Discovery further claims Midjourney is aware of its “breathtaking scope of its piracy and copyright infringement.”

Now, as part of the court proceedings, the Register of Copyright has been informed that the action which was filed on September 4 by Warner Bros. Discovery is now consolidated with the similar case filed by Disney and Universal in June 2025.

In short, they’ve given the Register of Copyrights that the case which was two, is now 1, and the Disney earlier-filed case is the Lead Case with any following filings being only under the lead case.

Not the sexiest or most exciting of filings but important for those paying attention and needing to keep up with what’s going on.
