Attorneys litigating over Miami's Ultra Music Festival expect more legal action in the United States and the European Union despite verdicts reached in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Peter Valori, partner at Miami law firm Damian & Valori and legal counsel to Worldwide Entertainment — the branch of Ultra Enterprises responsible for licensing the festival's trademark to foreign production companies — told the Daily Business Review that there are plans to request a motion for judgment as a matter of law following the verdict.
A final judgment dated Sept. 24 said the jury awarded $866,000 in damages to Adria, a Croatia-based production company formerly responsible for facilitating Ultra Europe, on a count of tortious interference. The jury also assigned zero damages to a claim that Worldwide was in breach of a contract with Adria.
