"Mythbusters" controversy
In January 2005, Bowvayne commenced legal proceedings in Australia against Beyond Productions, the producer of the MythBusters television show, alleging passing off in relation to the use of the name "Mythbusters", addressing that he had invented the word in 1988 and had used the name continuously since in relation to pursuing myths and mysteries around the world. He cited his series of books published by Penguin Books under the banner "Mythbusters" in 19911, 1993, and 1996. In February 2007, the Federal Court of Australia dismissed his claims against Beyond Productions. A parallel action, citing the same books, a collection of television appearances, a television pilot episode, Beyond's written response to Bowvayne's TV concept, and Beyond's Title and Business Searches (showing that Beyond had prior knowledge of his claim) was dismissed. In the UK, Beyond Properties Pty Limited was again a defendant; these claims were also dismissed.
