In a dispute over royalties from a legal treatise, Kenyon & Kenyon said the name of a deceased firm attorney was removed as an author because his contribution had greatly dwindled and the firm does not have to pay royalties to his estate indefinitely.
Earlier this year, the widow of the late Donald Duvall, former chief administrative law judge for the International Trade Commission who later practiced at Kenyon, filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the intellectual property firm in federal court in Washington, D.C., accusing Kenyon of unlawfully taking credit for Duvall's work. After a jurisdiction challenge, the widow, Kathryn Duvall, refiled the suit in Duvall v. Kenyon & Kenyon, 652185/2013 in Manhattan Supreme Court (See Complaint).
