?Holmes? legal battle
It?s the case of the stolen premise ? and it?s a puzzler. CBS has commissioned ?Elementary,? a new pilot that aims to update Sherlock Holmes ? but this modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?s stories may not be so novel. ?Sherlock,? a present-day Holmes transplant tale co-written by...
