Arkansas Copyright Case Will Proceed; Motion to Dismiss Denied

Defendant's motion to dismiss was denied in Ellis v. Black, 2008 WL 3539524 (W.D. Ark. 8/11/08)(previously posted 6/2/08).This is a copyright infringement case based on plaintiff's Relocation Guide Mountain Home, Arkansas. Black moved to dismiss claiming the work lacked the requisite originality for copyright protection. The court easily rejected this argument, citing well established authority that compilations of facts can receive copyright protection.
