How come there was no legal battle between the sentai creators and Saban enterprises? I ask because the characters in Zyurangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers look exactly like each other in MMPR and Sentai. How come I never heard of a lawsuit regarding this? Is this not a trademark violation?

This is because they did not give up a big retainer for the attorneys .........

Because Saban did not steal the footage, they bought it. And they had the concent of Toei, Ltd to use it. Why would Toei sue if they were paid for the footage? Now, I don't know the specifics on this next point, but Saban tried to start MMPR with the previous year's "Jetman", but I read somewhere that the negotiations either fell through, or there was some sort of delay involved. So, instead, they started with "ZyuRanger" instead. james nevermann ][

I think Saban purchased the rights or something like that to air them in the US. He purchased the footage, etc.

Saban (and now Disney) paid Toei a licensing fee to use the footage, likenesses, etc.
