  1. Francis, Day & Hunter Ltd. v. Twentieth Century Fox Corp.

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Francis, Day & Hunter Ltd. v. Twentieth Century Fox Corp. 1939 4 D.L.R. 353 is a leading Judicial Committee of the Privy Council opinion on copyright law . The Council held that copyright cannot subsist in non original work or in the title of a work alone unless it is original and distinctive. Francis, Day and Hunter had released a song titled The man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo . Years later, 20th Century Fox put out a movie by the same title, but had no other connections to the song. Francis sued for copyright infringement. Lord Wright held that a name alone cannot possess copyright unless it is sufficiently original and distinctive. To break the bank is a hackneyed expression, and Monte Carlo is or was the most obvious place at which that achievement or accident might take place.

Ct. 1948 , aff d, 87 N.Y.S.2d 430 New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division N.Y. App. Div. 1949 , was a copyright lawsuit. In The Iron Curtain film The Iron Curtain , a 1948 motion picture depicting Soviet Union Soviet espionage in Canada , 20th Century Fox Twentieth Century Fox used compositions by composers, who were citizens and residents of the Soviet Union as background music, and on the film credited these composers with the compositions. The name of one of the composers, Dmitri Shostakovich was also used in the picture when one of the characters therein incidentally referred to him in an appreciative manner. All of the music used was in the public domain and had no copyright protection , therefore the court refused to Wiktionary enjoin enjoin the use of the names and the music. Furthermore, the use of the composers names in conjunction with the compositions is not subject to restraint under the New York State civil rights law 51 . In the absence of copyright, others may use the names of the authors in copyrighting, publishing or compiling their works. Assuming that the publication of defamatory matter may be enjoined, there was no showing that the composers have been slander and libel slandered or libeled . There is furthermore no indication in the motion picture that the composers participated in or gave their approval or indorsement to the picture nor is their approval of it necessarily implied therein. No such implication exists, necessarily or otherwise, where the work of the composer is in the public domain and may be freely published, copied or compiled by others. The case foreshadowed Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. Dastar v. Twentieth Century Fox over fifty years later. Source public domain court decision.

Section 1 of the Sherman Act states that Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal. However, for a condition of conspiracy to exist, there must be at least two parties involved. Copperweld held that separate Incorporation business incorporation was not enough to render a parent and its subsidiary capable of conspiring, since forcibly the economic interests of a wholly owned subsidiary must be those of its parent.

The ruling held that though a newspaper held the copyright in the collection and the arrangement of freelance articles and in its newspaper, it could not publish the articles within a database. Publication within the database would remove the articles from the context of the collective work and were therefore their publication as such was not within the rights held by the newspaper.

  1. Rudder v. Microsoft Corp.

    Rudder v. Microsoft Corp. 1999 O.J. No. 3778 Sup. Ct. J. . is the leading decision on clickwrap licenses and forum selection clause s in Canada. Background Rudder brought a class action on behalf of MSN subscribers in Canada for, among other things, improperly charging MSN subscriber s credit cards violating the terms of the contract. Microsoft filed to dismiss the class action on the grounds of forum non conveniens . They argued that the contract between them and the subscribers contained a forum selection clause which gave exclusive jurisdiction to Washington state to resolve any disputes. Rudder argued that the particular clause was not valid as it was not adequately brought to the attention of the user. The provision was sufficiently important that it required special notice. Opinion of the Court Justice Winkler found in favour of Microsoft and held that the clause was enforceable. Winkler rejected Rudder s argument, stating that Admittedly, the entire Agreement cannot be displayed at once on the computer screen, but this is not materially different from a multi page written document which requires a party to turn the pages. Winkler observed that users were required to click on the I agree button to accept the terms, and that the impugned clause was no harder to read than any of the others. The sign up procedure itself required users to click I agree twice, where the second time the user was told that they would still be bound to the terms even if they do not read them all. Winkler did not find it reasonable for Rudder to argue for the enforcement of all the other terms of the contract except for the forum clause. A finding in favour of the plaintiff, said Winkler, would not advance the goals of commercial certainty. In concluding, Winkler held that Clickwrap click wrap agreements in general should be afforded the sanctity that must be given to any agreement in writing.

    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Societe Le Chant du Monde v. Societe Fox Europe and Societe Fox Americaine Twentieth Century is a French case had the same facts as the New York case Shostakovich v. Twentieth Century Fox , wherein four Russia n composer s sued Twentieth Century Fox Fox to prevent the use of their public domain compositions in an anti communism Communist film . The New York court presciently summed up the future holding of the French court, where it predicted that Moral rights copyright law droit moral could prevent the use of a composition or work, in the public domain. The film was ordered seized. Russian music for many decades was in the public domain in the United States and western Europe, as a form of Revenge payback for the Soviet Union not recognizing western copyright s. Normally authors will be long dead before their works come into the public domain, however depending on the country there is authority that authors may dedicate their works to the public domain voluntarily. The Shostakovich and Le Chant du Monde problem, therefore is still with us. The problem is that voluntarily dedicated works may not truly be freely available for modification or even aggregation the music in Le Chant du Monde was merely a motion picture soundtrack until the author is dead, even though the works quite clearly are in the public domain. This case was discussed in Strauss, The Moral Right of the Author , 4 Am. J. Comp. L. 506, 534 35 n.56 1955 . DEFAULTSORT Societe Le Chant Du Monde V.

  1. Microsoft Corp v. Zamos

    Microsoft Corp v. Zamos was litigation between Microsoft and David Zamos, a student at Kent State and the University of Akron in the United States . Microsoft accused Zamos of illegally reselling his student discounts and allowances discount ed copies of Windows XP Pro and Microsoft Office on eBay . Zamos countersued Microsoft for making false claims. When Zamos sent a press release to his local newspaper, the case received international press coverage. At issue was the fact that Zamos acquired Microsoft software at a discount for academic use, then re sold it to the general public on eBay for a profit. Zamos contends, and can document, that he found the software unsuitable when he realized it required him to format his computer s hard drive . He attempted to return the software, first at the University of Akron s bookstore, then directly to Microsoft. When both of these attempted returns were denied, Zamos put the software up for sale on eBay in two auction s, the second of which was cancelled at Microsoft s request. When he successfully re instated the auction and completed the sale, he was sued under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act . His profit was 143.50 US dollars USD . On January 3, 2005 Zamos filed a countersuit . In it he pointed out that Microsoft s claim did not represent the facts of his case, and appeared to be a Boilerplate text boilerplate suit like thousands of others the company has filed. He exhibited a page from the claim that was identical to a page in another, except that some plural words had been changed to singular ones. The respective verbs had not been changed to their singular forms, so the page contained grammatical errors. These counterclaims seem to have failed, as Zamos was not a qualified end user . So he filed more claims, contending among other things that the unopened software had never presented him with the End User License Agreement and thus the opportunity to become a qualified end user. This, he asserted, amounted to deceptive ...   more details

No. 124, 35 C.P.R. 3d 350 transcripts judges Pratte, Marceau, and D cary JJ.A. prior actions subsequent actions opinions D cary J.A., concurrence by Marceau J.A. keywords Patent, Presumption of Validity, Anticipation, Obviousness Diversified Products Corp. v. Tye Sil Corp. is a Canadian Federal Court of Appeal Canada Federal Court of Appeal decision concerning the presumption of validity in Canadian patent law and novelty. Presumption of validity The Court of Appeal considered the effect of the presumption of validity of a registered patent. Section 45 of the Patent Act provides that a patent granted under the Act is valid in the absence of any evidence to the contrary . The trial judge had adopted a high standard for rebutting the presumption, where the onus to disprove the presumption is not an easy one to discharge . D cary J.A., for the Court, rejected this approach. The Court of Appeal concluded that the presumption of validity merely gives rise to an evidentiary burden on a balance of probabilities. Novelty The Court of Appeal cited with approval jurisprudence that stands for the proposition that an impractical and inoperable device cannot be an anticipation . The invention dealt with a conventional rowing machine usable in an upright position. The Court found that the prior art, which was an exercise machine, was impracticable and inoperable in the vertical position. Consequently, the patent was not anticipated. Non obviousness The Court further determined that the invention was not obvious.
