UPDATE 4/19/21: The table now includes links to the full opinions! Just click on the name of the case in the left column.
Last year in the UCI Intellectual Property, Arts, and Technology Clinic, our Filmmaker Counseling team began to hear of a rising number of fair use opinions coming out of the federal courts, and we decided to embark on an exhaustive study of recent fair use decisions in copyright infringement cases. In total, we identified and analyzed seventy-two opinions issued by federal courts and made available on Westlaw or Lexis between January 1, 2019, and February 25, 2021. In our report “Fair Use Jurisprudence 2019-2021: A Comprehensive Review,” we summarize the cases and provide some analysis. An abridged version of our case summaries is available in this table.
