    WWE licensing litigation and alleged improper payments

    WWE sued JAKKS Pacific over allegations that bribes involving WWF executive Jim Bell and agent Stanley Shenker concealed competing licensing proposals. The federal case was dismissed in 2007, state litigation was dismissed in 2008, and an appeal was dismissed in 2009. The parties announced a settlement in December 2009 without an admission of wrongdoing.
