Russian circus legend Yuri Kuklachev and his son, Dmitri, filed a federal suit charging their ex-managers created a knockoff version of their Moscow Cats Theater show.
The suit accuses father-and-son duo Mark and Yanis Gelfman of secretly applying for a trademark and recruiting adefector who learned Yuri Kuklachev's secret methods for training cats to perform.
"They're basically trying to steal his identity," said Gary Tsirelman, a lawyer for Yuri Kuklachev.
While the two sides battle over the trademark, the Kuklachevs are also seeking an injunction and monetary damages. They're even suing the venues - which included the Tribeca Performing Arts Center - that hosted the alternative show, and Ticketmaster.
The Gelfmans' mouthpiece, James Woods, said the suit should be scratched.
"The Moscow Cats Theater was created by the Gelfmans," Woods said.
