Kohan and Mutchnick formed a name with their two last names: KoMut Entertainment, which would be the name of the company they own, making Boston Common, Will & Grace, $#*! My Dad Says and Partners. In 1999, it signed a deal with Warner Bros. Television.[5]
On December 11, 2003, NBC filed a lawsuit against Kohan and Mutchnick, claiming that they had failed to negotiate a contract and a licensee fee for Will & Grace.[6] Both sides were settled on April 29, 2007.[7]
