Texas Judge to Rule on The Onion’s Infowars Licensing Bid
TL;DR
A Texas judge will decide whether The Onion can license Infowars’ IP and branding (instead of owning the platform) as part of a bid to take control of Infowars, which is tied to a $1.3 billion Sandy Hook defamation judgment against Alex Jones and the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. The proposed deal would license Infowars.com and branding for about $81,000 per month, with a ruling expected from Judge Maya Guerra Gamble and a potential agreement around April 30.
