Question:

Superior Form Builders held a copyright for animal mannequins. The sculpted animal forms were used to mount animal skins. The owner of Superior Form Builders, Tommy Knight, considers the mannequins to be a form of artistic expression. The defendant, Dan Chase Taxidermy Supply Company, ordered four of Knight's mannequins from the Superior Form catalog. Chase, a competitor of Superior Form, ordered under a fictitious name. He used the mannequins to mount animal skins and made few changes to the forms. When Knight realized that Chase was using the Superior Form mannequins, he sued for copyright infringement. Chase argued that the copyright should never have been granted because the mannequins were useful and unoriginal. How do you think the court decided?
