Kemp & Beatley v Hirsch, 34 F.2d 291 (E.D.N.Y. 1929)

The complaint alleged that the defendants had infringed plaintiff's certificates of copyright Nos. 84,890 and 84,892. If the copyrights are valid, there can be no possible doubt of infringement, for the defendants' dress patterns are almost identical with those deposited by the plaintiff with the Register of Copyrights.

The defendants argued that plaintiff had no valid copyright protection, because the certificates do not cover copyrightable subject-matter;

Under the authority of Rosenbach v. Dreyfuss (D. C.) 2 F. 217, it would seem, too, that articles such as dress patterns do not present copyrightable subject-matter. Copyright deemed invalid.
