Jessica Seinfeld Vegetable Plagiarism: Not Guilty

Who ever thought you could “get legal” with produce?
A judge has thrown out a case against the wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Jessica Seinfeld, by the author of a kids cookbook.
Missy Chase Lapine had alleged that Jessica’s book, Deceptively Delicious: Secrets to Getting Your Kids Eating Good Food, was so highly similar to Lapine’s The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals, Jessica must be plagiarizing!
“We are pleased that the court saw through this sham and dismissed the baseless copyright claim,” Orin Snyder, attorney for the Seinfelds said.
Jerry had joked about the incident on the The Late Show with David Letterman, calling it “vegetable plagiarism.”
The main differences between Jessica’s and Missy’s book, the U.S. court judge Laura Swain ruled, was that Jessica’s is “bright and cheerful, full of different colors and various patterns,” while Missy’s is “a dry, rather text-heavy work.”
Jessica created the book because she and Jerry have a child that’s a picky eater.
