A BBC book about Doctor Who's legendary foes, the Daleks, has been cleared of infringing copyright in London.
The case was brought by publishers JHP, who printed four books with stories by Dalek creator Terry Nation in the 60s. Managing director Paul Fishman said the BBC's Dalek Survival Guide, published in 2002, used material from those books and violated JHP's copyright. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7350858.stm
