MEMORANDUM OF DECISION AND ORDER
SPATT, District Judge.
Plaintiff Ariel Fleurimond (“Fleurimond”) alleges that she is the sole creator and copyright owner of “Orion”, a caricatured drawing of a cougar. In this action, she claims that New York University (“NYU”) infringed upon her copyright by using and selling various items that bear the Orion design without her consent. NYU has moved to dismiss the complaint under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(c), contending that Fleurimond has failed to adequately plead ownership of the copyright at issue. For the reasons discussed below, NYU’s motion is denied.
