Supreme Court Cases on Book Publishing: Copyright & Compensation

In fact, the Supreme Court has been quite active in cases involving book publishers and their compensation. Two notable cases in recent years include the 2013 case of Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. where the Court ruled that genes cannot be patented, and the 2019 case of Fourth Estate Public Benefit Corp. v. Wall-Street.com, LLC where the Court clarified the procedures for copyright registration before filing a lawsuit. These cases show that the Supreme Court is willing to address complex legal issues related to book publishing and intellectual property rights.
