From Jack Adelman, Inc. v. Sonners & Gordon, Inc, 112 F.Supp. 187 (SD New York 1934) This permits registration of works of art or designs, for works of art such as "Paintings, drawings and sculpture". Plaintiff stated in its application that it was filing a drawing for registration. The dress itself could hardly be classed as work of art and filed in the Register's office. Moreover, the regulation just quoted lists "garments" among those articles in which "The exclusive right to make and sell * * should not be sought by copyright registration." All the plaintiff could accomplish under this section was to register its drawing, and unless we read into the statute something which is not there plaintiff secured no exclusive monopoly of the dress shown in the drawing. This seems clear if it be kept in mind that it is the drawing which is assumed to be a work of art and not the dress. It follows that plaintiff's copyright gives it the exclusive right to make copies or reprints of the drawing only, and that it gives the copyright owner no monopoly of the article illustrated.
