Companies sued over 'Dirty Dancing' line

A number of companies have had a lawsuit filed against them from Lionsgate film studio after they used a line from movie Dirty Dancing on their merchandise without permission.

Fifteen companies, including Lucky Lou Boutique in Indiana and Duck Duck Goose in Ohio have used the phrase "Nobody puts Baby in a corner", a registered trade mark of the studio.

Lionsgate already uses the movie line, which was said by Patrick Swayze to Jennifer Grey in the 1987 hit film for a number of their official merchandise.

Two years ago the American Film Institute named the phrase as one of the top movie quotations in US cinema.
