J. Parker grants, in part, the photographer's motion for summary judgment, ruling that while the bar owner was not the creator of the advertisement that used a copyrighted photo without permission, the public display of the ad at the bar establishes liability for copyright infringement because of the striking similarity between the two images. Meanwhile, there is no evidence of willful conduct on the part of the bar owner and the photographer has not established he is entitled to any degree of statutory damages; therefore, both parties' motion on the issue of damages is denied.
Court: USDC Northern District of Ohio, Judge: Parker, Filed On: July 18, 2023, Case #: 1:22cv973, NOS: Copyrights - Property Rights, Categories: copyright, damages
J. Chun grants default judgement to the Texas corporation for its claim that the Chinese corporation unlawfully copied 19 of the former's original photographs and used them to market its products on Amazon. A reasonable consumer would likely confuse the Chinese corporation's copies with the Texas corporation's products because the images and titles that the Chinese corporation used in its Amazon listings are identical to the Texas corporation's photographs and marks. The Texas corporation is entitled to an injunction and $47,900 in costs.
