In 2021, Jake Seal was named in a lawsuit filed by Myriad Pictures, the company behind earlier installments of the Jeepers Creepers franchise. The suit alleged that Seal, through his companies Orwo Studios and Orwo Film Distribution, co-produced and distributed Jeepers Creepers: Reborn without honoring Myriad's contractual rights to first negotiation and last refusal for future sequels. In 2024, a California court granted Myriad’s motion to compel Seal and affiliated entities to produce financial records, and imposed monetary sanctions for their failure to comply. [4]
In October 2022, ORWO Net GmbH filed a complaint under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) against Jake Seal. ORWO Net, which holds trademark rights to "ORWO", alleged that the domains were registered and used in bad faith, infringing on their intellectual property. [5]
In 2023, Jake Seal was involved in a legal dispute related to the unreleased science fiction film A Patriot, for which he served as executive producer. Actor Eva Green brought a lawsuit against the production companies White Lantern Films and SMC Specialty Finance, seeking a $1 million fee she claimed was contractually owed. The defendants filed a counterclaim alleging that Green had undermined the project and breached her contract. [6] In April 2023, the High Court ruled in Green’s favor, dismissing the counterclaim and affirming that she was entitled to her fee. [7]
