`
`DECLARATION OF LAURA SIEGEL LARSON
`
`1, Laura Siegel Larson, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I, individually and as personal representative of the Estate of Joanne
`
`Siegel, am a party in the above-entitled case, and submit this declaration in support of
`
`Plaintiff’s Court-Ordered Supplemental Brief Re: Effect Of Court’s March 20, 2013
`
`Order On The “Ads” And “Superboy” Terminations. I have personal knowledge of
`
`the facts set forth in this declaration.
`
`2.
`
`On April 3, 1997, my mother, Joanne Siegel, and I served DC Comics,
`
`among others, with notices of termination under section 304(0) of the Copyright Act
`
`relating to certain “Superman” works co-created by my father, Jerome Siegel.
`
`3.
`
`Between approximately April 16, 1997 and October 19, 2001, we had
`
`settlement discussions with DC Comics and/or its parent company, Warner Bros.
`
`Entertainment Inc. (together with their predecessors, “DC”), relating to our
`
`termination notices.
`
`4.
`
`During all of that time, it was never stated to me or otherwise expressed or
`
`implied that a settlement with DC would involve the contractual revocation of any of my
`
`father’s pre-1978 copyright grants to DC, nor was it ever my understanding nor my
`
`intention to contractually revoke my father’s original grants to DC as part of any
`
`settlement with DC.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States of America
`
`that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`Executed on April 4, 2013, at Los Angeles, California.
