In Reed Elsevier, the Supreme Court unanimously held that federal courts could maintain jurisdiction over settlements involving non-registered works, even though the plain language of the statute seems to state that no lawsuit for infringement of such works can be brought. This ruling should allow for greater judicial review of cases involving large groups of parties interested in securing rights in the digital age, but it may have unintended consequences. Join us as Anthony F. Lo Cicero of Amster, Rothstein & Ebenstein LLP discusses the impact of Reed Elsevier on copyright infringement cases.
