WINNER, WINNER! $4M CRABHOUSE DINNER!

I just received word that the jury came back with a $4,000,000 verdict for Trademark Properties and Richard Davis in their dispute with A&E Television Networks.  

Congratulations, Richard and the Team Trademark! 

EDIT (3:52PM): The Charleston Post and Courier has an update-

A federal jury in Charleston awarded real estate investor Richard C. Davis more than $4 million in damages today in a trial stemming from the “Flip This House” reality television series.

Davis sued cable network A&E, saying he had an oral agreement with A&E to split revenues from the program he created. Davis, of James Island-based Trademark Properties Inc., said he was never paid.

A&E disputed that any agreement existed. Its lawyers declined to provide immediate comment on the ruling, which came after more than five hours of deliberation.

“I’m very pleased with the verdict,” said Mount Pleasant attorney Frank M. Cisa, who represented Davis. “These cases are very tough to prove.”

For more details, see Thursday’s Post and Courier.

  6. Awesome news for trademark. Its been a long time coming. Now if we could only get the old gang back on the air. I miss Kevin!

  8. Congrats to y’all!!!

  9. i think the TV ship has sailed the Cooper river!

  10. Congratulations!

    So, is Trademark Properties off the air for good? The property flipping clowns they’re showing lately are sad.

    Is there any word on starting up a new season? Truly loved watching the show.

  11. I am so happy for you guys. Our family has missed this show…I hope you continue to make more shows for us!! We are waiting!!!

  12. A&E has removed season 1 of FTH from the episode guide.

  13. Happy to see Richard and Trademark got justice. What A&E did to that show is criminal in it self.

    Hope to see more of “The Real Deal” or whatever it’s called these days. Frankly, I think they should just move the show to the Internet and cut out the middleman. :)

  15. Armando has a blog site, of sorts:

    Apparently he is still on the TV show, as he ‘just wrapped up the best episode ever’ and asks if anyone ‘wants to feature their house on the show’.

    He also asked if people would rather watch him work in Texas, or Cali.
