New Sullivan & Worcester Advisory: Supreme Court Responds to Museums' Concerns in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The Sullivan & Worcester LLP Art and Museum Law Group has issued a new client advisory about the Supreme Court’s decision in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. As analyzed in the advisory, the Court has extended the “first sale” doctrine of the U.S. Copyright Act to copies of protected works that were lawfully manufactured and first sold abroad and later re-sold in the United States, in a result strongly advocated by United States museums. The decision abrogates the earlier view that the “first sale” doctrine applied to copies manufactured outside the United States only if an authorized first sale occurred within the United States. The implications are significant for museums and anyone engaged in visual arts commerce who otherwise might have had to search for permission to import or display works made overseas.

I will be there to moderate what I expect will be a fascinating discussion.

We are pleased to have you at the first thread of the Art Law Report, a new blog dedicated to the commentary of Nicholas O'Donnell and the Art & Museum Law Group of Sullivan & Worcester LLP. I spent some time in the art historical world before becoming a civil litigator several years ago, and together with my colleagues hope to give fresh perspective to the many legal questions facing the visual arts from many different angles. I hope that our blog will become a resource for you, whatever your relation to the art or legal field.
