1988
Narnia licensing dispute
ICE sued the company that had licensed Narnia gamebooks to it after discovering that the licensor apparently lacked the necessary rights. The licensor later became bankrupt and could not pay ICE’s damages.
1985
Middle-earth solo-gamebook rights dispute
ICE’s Tolkien Quest and Middle-earth Quest books were judged to conflict with contractual rights held by the Tolkien publishing licensee George Allen & Unwin because their format approached literary books. ICE recalled and destroyed the line, suffering a major financial loss.
