U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-4483
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Melloy and Grasz, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Copyrights and Trademarks. The district court did not err in
denying plaintiff's motion to amend his complaint as his proposed
amendment of his count for tortious interference with contract was
preempted by the Copyright Act and his proposed amended trade dress and
fraud claims were futile; however, his proposed amended trademark claim
did state a trademark claim regarding the names of his installed art
works, and the district court erred in denying his motion to amend this
claim; remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
