Supreme Court Upholds Restoration of Copyright Protection
Intellectual PropertyBrief.net – January 30, 2012
On January 18, 2012 the Supreme Court affirmed Congress’ authority to apply U.S. copyright protection to works which, although protected abroad, were previously considered to be within the public domain in the U.S.
The ruling is controversial because it means that an as yet indeterminate number of works that were previously free to use by the public have now become protected works.
