I have contributed three articles to this newsletter:

3C is fair use, too: Judge Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York dismissed a copyright infringement case against playwright David Adjmi, finding his play 3Cto be fair use of television show Three’s Company, as it is “a highly transformative parody of Three’s Company.”

Supreme Court holds that TTAB’s decisions have preclusive effect on courts: the U.S. Supreme Court held that Decisions of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) have a preclusive effect in subsequent trademark infringement suits if the other ordinary elements of issue preclusion are met.

European Court of Justice decides that reduced VAT rate cannot be applied to supply of e-books: the European Court of Justice held on March 5, 2015, that France and Luxembourg could not apply a reduced value added tax rate to the supply of digital or electronic books.

I hope you will find this newsletter of interest.
