1Opinion of the Court
FERGUSON, Circuit Judge:
Radio Television Española sued New World Entertainment for breach of contract, claiming that New World failed to honor a contract granting Radio Television an exclusive license to broadcast two of New World’s television programs. The district court granted summary judgment for New World because the parties had not complied with 17 U.S.C. § 204(a)’s requirement that transfers of copyright be in writing. On appeal, we affirm on the merits but reverse the district court’s subsequent determination that New World’s application for costs was untimely.
