Yount v. Acuff Rose-Opryland

How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that state contract law “determines the rights and obligations arising under a publishing contract that assigns a copyright”
• “[W]hen a contract has been reduced to writing, a court must ascertain the parties’ intent from the writing alone.”
• no genuine issue of material fact regarding Yount’s conveyance of foreign royalties because the parties never discussed foreign royalties and Yount’s subjective intent not to include them was never expressed, so “ ‘all’ meant just what it said his whole interest under the... agreement”
