How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • concluding that an assignment substantially similar to Alaska Stock’s was sufficient to confer standing
  • explaining that a “very late” disclosure was not substantially justified where initial non-disclosure was strategic choice
  • excluding the agency agreements as a discovery, and only considering the copyright assignment agreements
  • basing its standing decision, in part, on the fact that the plaintiff had engaged in a scheme to back-date assignments so that they would pre-date the filing of the complaint and had admitted that the only purpose for which it could use the assignment was to bring the lawsuit
  • “Minden’s argument that [the infringer] itself lacks standing to challenge the validity of the copyright assignments is easily rejected.”
