After refusing to agree to another joint ownership arrangement, Supersonic was finally awarded full rights to Scrat. It wasn't until the Disney buyout of Fox that Supersonic was asked to renegotiate. After years of legal battles, in 2012, Supersonic was finally awarded the copyright to the Scrat character, finally bringing the 1999 paperwork to a close. Fox offered her a settlement which she refused.
In 2003, a court ruled that Fox and Supersonic were co-owners of Scrat, after Supersonic bought the Beaver image back from Szafarczyk, with rights stretching back to 1994. Supersonic sued Fox for stealing her character.
Fox negotiated the character with Szafarczyk and with DAS, which were technically the co-owners of Sqrat. Although Supersonic designed the character, she had hired an artist named Ron Szafarczyk to re-tool the character to be more marketing-friendly. Szafarczyk, instead of retooling the character from scratch, ended up copying and slightly altering an off-the-rack image of a beaver owned by a clip-art company called DAS.
Disney was able to use the Sqrat character because of a bizarre loophole in the way the character was designed.
