041088P.pdf   04/11/2005  Taylor Corp.  v.  Four Seasons
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-1088
   District of Minnesota   
Civil case - Intellectual property. Adopting the majority view of the other circuits, the court holds the appropriate standard for reviewing a district court's findings of substantial similarity in copyright law cases is clear error; district court correctly determined bankruptcy court order constituted a transfer of ownership interests by operation of law to plaintiff, and plaintiff owned the copyrights in the greeting cards at issue in this case; district court's finding that the cards defendant produced were substantially similar to plaintiff's trademarked cards was not clearly erroneous; despite the availability of uncontested damages, plaintiff was entitled to seek only injunctive relief; permanent injunction served the public interest, and the district court did not err in permanently enjoining defendant from violating the trademarks; defendant was not entitled to a jury trial on plaintiff's action seeking only a permanent injunction.
