But did either of these EXPICITLY REFER TO THE CLAIMED SOURCE IN PLANNING DOCUMENTS.
Courts are going to give a LOT of benefit of the doubt to avoid litigation in vaguely similar plots/avoid stifling creativity.
So unless DS9/B5 casting calls had reference notes for it being a substitute for a source character, the two aren’t the same.

I get the righteous fury thing. But the smoking gun is what?
You can't trademark or copyright names like Barbara or Montauk.
So unless it really is the same character can't do much.
I'm just going off the little tidbits that TMZ has here. But I'm not seeing kiss off money being paid from it.
It's not hard for a production company to say I like your concept but no and then go do their own thing with it, which probably did happen here. And like I first stated, nature of the beast.
