We do know that he wrote another book after the contract was signed, so he had the right to do that. What part of this do you not understand?

Maybe he wrote it with the express agreement of Paramount that he could write that one book. That means absolutely nothing at all when considering rights the estate has to write another book now. |

I don't know what agreements or contracts exist or existed between Puzo, his estate and Paramount. That is why I don't think we can make any conclusion about what rights the estate have. You don't know anything about any agreements or contracts exist either, but for some reason you do think you can draw conclusions. |

What does that have to do with whether the estate can release a book now? We don't know, because it depends on the contract. |

We have no idea what agreements were in place between Paramount and Puzo regarding that book. It is possible that they would allow for another book. It is possible that they wouldn't. Without knowing what they were, we cannot say either way. |

In fact, the goog reveals this: Quote:
Which suggests that Paramount owns the contract and has the power to decide whether to permit a sequel or not. But what really matters is what the contract says. |

But it does mention that the estate had to have Paramount agree with publishing that book. So if you want a conclusion it would seem the estate already knows the answer- they need paramount's permission.

It doesn't say that they had to have Paramount agree with publishing that book, just that they did. They had no agreement for the one that followed, but it was still published. If they didn't have any part of the copyright in this matter, then it makes no sense that they would be the ones to choose the writer.
