John Steinbeck's son, Thomas Steinbeck (a writer of fiction in his own right), has been rejected by the Supreme Court over an appeal on the rights of John Steinbeck's famed work. The LA Times has the story, as does Media Bistro.
Brief sidebar: One of my favorite literary possessions is a postcard I received from John Steinbeck's widow, Elaine Steinbeck, before she passed. I had written her simply stating how John Steinbeck was my favorite writer and how his words helped mold me into the writer I am today. She said, paraphrasing, "He was great. I just had a stroke. I'm going to Europe!"
