At issue was the question of what constitutes creative originality sufficient to be deserving of copyright protection. The Court rejected the arguments of Forever 21, and adopted those advanced by Mr. Burroughs, finding that the design at issue was sufficiently original. The Court then allowed Mr. Burroughs the opportunity to amend the complaint to more fully elucidate and plead the originality of the design, and allowed the case to proceed.
