How courts have described this case

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

• holding that full payment was not a condition precedent when the licensee received the copyrighted drawings after tendering only half the required payment
• noting that “a person holding a nonexclusive license has no standing to sue for copyright infringement” (citing Paul Goldstein, I Copyright: Principles, Law and Practice § 4.4.1.1, at 409 (1989))
• rejecting plaintiff's argument that an implied license \did not spring into existence\ because only half the contract sum was paid
• “[A] person holding a nonexclusive license has no standing to sue for copyright infringement.”
• “In our case, however, the record contains written authorization for the use of Mr. Shaver’s copyrighted drawings to ‘describe the agreed scope of the Project’ for Joint Venture and the Airport. The use of his drawings was therefore within the scope of that agreement.”
