Italic title force true MAI Systems Corp. v. Peak Computer, Inc. , 991 F.2d 511 9th Cir. 1993 , was a case heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit which addressed the question of whether or not the loading of a software program into Random Access Memory RAM by a computer repair technician makes a copy of the software that is a potential violation of copyright law. The court held that it did, although the United States Congress subsequently enacted an amendment to USC 17 117 to specifically overrule this holding in the circumstances of computer repair. Background Peak Computer, Inc. is a computer maintenance company that organized in 1990. Peak maintained computer systems for its clients by performing routine maintenance and emergency repairs. When providing maintenance or making emergency repairs, Peak booted the MAI computer, causing the MAI operating system to be loaded from the hard disk into RAM. MAI also alleged that Peak ran MAI s diagnostic software during Peak s service calls. This case involved the two parties MAI Systems and Peak Computer, as well as defendant Eric Francis, a former MAI Systems Corporation employee who joined Peak Computer, Inc. Copyright Issues MAI contended that Peak s use of the MAI operating system constituted copyright infringement. MAI argued that the license agreement which permitted an end user to make a copy of the program for their own use did not extend to Peak because Peak was not the licensee and therefore had no rights under the license agreement. The court agreed and granted partial summary judgment which prohibited Peak from continuing their method of operation. The court determined that a copy of a program made from a hard drive into RAM for purpose of executing the program was, in fact, a copy under the Copyright ..., the same as, or working with MAI Systems.

orphan date November 2009 Frosty Treats, Inc. v. Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. , Case citation 426 F.3d 1001 8th Cir. 2005 , is a trademark case in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit held that the name of one of the largest ice cream truck franchise companies in the United States was neither distinctive nor famous enough to receive protection against being used in a violent video game. Background Frosty Treats, Inc. is the name of one of the largest ice cream truck street vendors in the United States. Their trucks uniformly feature a Frosty Treats logo, typically surrounded by the logos of various frozen snacks sold by the vender. Another feature of the trucks is the Safety Clown , an image of a clown pointing children towards the back of the vehicle. In the mid 1990s, Sony released Twisted Metal 2 , a video game that allows players to wreak havoc on simulated streets with a variety of vehicles including an ice cream truck prominently featuring a logo that says Frosty Treats . The video game ice cream truck is driven by a crazed clown known as Sweet Tooth Twisted Metal Sweet Tooth , one of many featured in the game. Lawsuit Frosty Treats, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Sony contending that the game infringed on the company s trademarks through the use of the phrase, Frosty Treats , as well as similarities between the video game clown and the company s own safety clown. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri granted summary judgment to Sony and dismissed the case, holding that the name could not be protected because it was generic. U.S. District Judge Scott Wright stated in his May 19, 2005 dismissal that the various depictions of the Sweet Tooth character in defendant s Twisted Metal series Twisted Metal games and plaintiff s Safety Clown are so dissimilar that no reasonable trier of fact could conclude that they are confusingly similar. http www.bizjournals.com kansascity stories 2004 07 26 focus5.html Additionally ... more details

no footnotes date November 2010 The Blue Meanies of AppleComputer was an engineering group primarily responsible for the architecture of System 7 Macintosh System 7 during the early and mid 1990s. The name, a reference to the evil characters of Pepperland in the movie Yellow Submarine 1968 film Yellow Submarine , originated with the Pink Blue split in Apple s operating system planning, where Pink was to be the further out project that ultimately became Taligent , while Blue designated incremental improvements to the shipping Mac OS. The Meanie part of the name derived from the group s architectural role, which frequently entailed telling engineers in other groups what to do. While the Meanies have sometimes been characterized as the coders of System 7 , the Mac OS was by then sufficiently large that major subsystems such as QuickDraw and QuickTime were developed and maintained by specialized groups, and the Meanies primarily focused on getting the pieces to work together. The name appeared outside of Apple as an Easter egg virtual Easter egg starting in System 7.0.1, where the text Help Help We re being held prisoner in a system software factory and The Blue Meanies was followed by a list of names.
