Google Books Litigation: Frankfurt Kurnit Petitions US Supreme Court for Review
IP litigation partners Ned Rosenthal and Jeremy Goldman are co-counsel for The Authors Guild in the so-called Google Books case — arguably the most significant copyright case in the courts today. The case advances a direct challenge to Google’s mass digitization of millions of copyrighted works for inclusion in its search engine and as part of its “library project.” The Second Circuit had ruled for Google. Working with our co-counsel at Jenner & Block LLP, we have asked the US Supreme Court to resolve the conflict over whether use of a copyrighted work that adds no new creative content can nevertheless be "transformative" for fair use purposes - and other questions at the heart of publishing in the digital age.
