- Title
UNREAL PROPERTY: VERNOR V. AUTODESK, INC. AND THE RAPID EXPANSION OF COPYRIGHT OWNERS' RIGHTS BY GRANTING BROAD DEFERENCE TO SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENTS.
- Authors
Bednarz, Zbigniew J.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's decision in Vernor v. Autodesk, Inc., involving the issue of ownership of copies of copyrighted works. It was held that when the transfer of software to the purchaser materially resembled a sale it was, in fact, a "sale with restrictions on use," giving rise to a right to resell the copy under the first-sale doctrine. It discusses the impact of Vernor case on the software industry and intellectual property of the U.S.
