$225.00
Description
Abstract: Things found in nature are generally considered in the public domain and not subject to copyright protection. Yet a federal appeals court recently ruled that a flooring design based on the natural aging of wood was indeed copyrightable. This article reviews the decision, which illustrates how — depending on originality — a work using uncopyrightable elements can be copyright-eligible itself.
