1Opinion of the Court
SPROUSE, Circuit Judge:
Keeler Brass Company appeals from a judgment of the district court in favor of Continental Brass Company and Everett Bryant Sales, Inc., after a bench trial of its action for copyright infringement. We affirm.
Keeler is a designer and manufacturer of decorative hardware for furniture. Continental is a manufacturer of similar types of furniture hardware. Everett Bryant Sales is a sales agent for Continental. It employs Lynn Fouts, a designer, who designed the “drawer pull,” which generated the controversy leading to the action that we now review.
