Layman's description: WB & JKR accuse RDR Books and various unnamed people of:

1. Copyright Infringement,
2. Federal Trademark Infringement,
3. Unfair Competition and False Designation of Origin,
4. False Advertising,
5. Deceptive Trade Practices,
6. ?? (yes, unknown. It skips from 5 to 7. *shrug* Must be a lawyer thing.)
7. Unfair Competition,
8. Declaratory Judgment re. Copyright Infringement (I gather this is weird legalese for "RDR can't sue WB/JKR for future movies that make use of facts that look like they came from the Lexicon.").

WB/JKR want a judge to declare the Lexicon breaks several laws, must not be printed/sold, and RDR needs to pay an unspecified swampload of money including WB/JKR's legal fees.

ACTUAL TEXT OF DOCUMENT: ( Very long document, with probably not enough formatting. )
