M. K. Transfers Bigfoot Analysis Files to Patterson Widow

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 12th, 2007

M. K. Davis has informed me that he has passed the “rights” to all his files to the film footage taken at Bluff Creek, California, on October 20, 1967, to Mrs. Roger Patterson.

He appears to be talking especially about enhancement footage (see below) made from Rick Noll’s enlarged frame by frame photos, which are all over YouTube and in various documentaries produced in the recent past.

How are such rights transfered after the permissions have been given?

Needless to say, Rick Noll and others have raised questions about permissions being granted by Mrs. Patterson for analyses, which were assumed by others to be then transferred to them. What was done with those rights in the past? Also, questions have been asked by others, logically, if enhancements, revisions, and stabilizations of the footage can even be copyrighted, were copyrighted, or are presently in public domain.

Also, statements about allegedly forthcoming documentaries, promised films demonstrating Bigfoot are “people,” and other hints of future happenings made in the last year by M. K. Davis and others are all now up in the air.

I have no answers, but merely am passing along this “news” and will wait to see what develops next.

M. K. Davis’ email and supporting document, received late last night, are below.

Hello Loren. I have recently decided to transfer any and all claims that I may have on the files that I have created from the Patterson film, over to Patricia Patterson. All permits to use the files rendered by me, needs to be granted by her. I was more than happy to do this and it is my sincere hope that she is able to benefit from their use. Regards, M.K. [Davis], July 11, 2007.

Without a doubt the world’s most famous Bigfoot movie…The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates

What does any of this mean?

    Sounds like an enlightened view on things regarding this has begun to emerge, at least I hope so. The closed hand neither gives nor recieves.
