Sixth Circuit: Proper copyright infringement test applied, finding of no infringement affirmed
In a decision Friday, the Sixth Circuit affirmed a district court's finding of no copyright infringement, holding that the lower court had applied the proper legal standard. Specifically, while the district court characterized the test for substantial similarity in a different manner, the application of the test was proper insofar as the court removed from consideration elements which were not protectible, and instead compared only the plaintiff's protectible expression to the allegedly infringing work.
