U.S. Circuit Court for the District of New Jersey
Decided March 10, 1905PublishedCited by 1 opinion
In Equity. On application for preliminary injunction.
1Opinion of the Court
LANNING, District Judge.
The complainant bases its right to a ■preliminary injunction in this case upon the provisions of the interim -copyright act of January 7, 1904, 33 Stat. 4, c. 2. A copy of that act *842(excepting section 4, which relates to the recording fees, and section 7, which relates to copyright protection of paintings, statuary, etc.) is set forth in the margin.1 If there he substantial doubt as to whether the act can be construed so as to support the right claimed, that doubt is fatal to the application.
