January
27 2011

The reportage describes the facts underlying the dispute and the Court’s ruling, and includes a quote by Scott A. Burroughs on the impact of the opinion:

“The ruling is a great success for copyright holders everywhere,” said Scott A. Burroughs of Doniger/Burroughs APC, who represents United. “It makes it very clear to a party that has been alleged to have violated a copyright that it is not able to evade responsibility by pointing out technical defect in the registration.”
