About this program

This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of General credit in California. It aired March 18, 2026 and features Scott Hervey.

The decision on the Top Gun case reaffirms what is already known: copyright does not protect abstract ideas. Looking at Yonay v. Paramount Pictures Corp and Sedlik v. Von Drachenberg, et al, this program explores existing doctrine and analyzes the future of copyright cases. Attorney provides an in-depth review of both cases, from the application of the intrinsic test in the Kat Von D case to the failure of the estoppel argument in the Yonay case.
