The Sheldon Abend Revocable Trust filed suit in federal court charging that Dreamworks, Viacom, and Universal Pictures violated its copyright of Rear Window (1954) by making Disturbia (2007) without obtaining permission. Steven Spielberg, executive producer of the film, is also named. (8 September 2008). In 2010, a federal judge dismissed the suit, ruling "The main plots are similar only at a high, unprotectable level of generality ... Where 'Disturbia' is rife with sub-plots, the short story has none. The setting and mood of the short story are static and tense, whereas the setting and mood of 'Disturbia' are more dynamic and peppered with humor and teen romance.".
