LAW 442
Class 5 POD Assignment
Harry's creative works, such as screenplays and videos, may be protected by copyright law. In
order to succeed in a copyright infringement claim, Harry has to establish both originality and
similarity between his pitch and the produced series. If the court finds the two works
substantially similar, Harry may have a strong case for copyright infringement. Harry could
make the case for an implied-in-fact contract by drawing comparisons to the precedent
established in Wilder v. CBS Corporation. Harry can establish an agreement and hold XYZ
responsible for any violations if there is proof showing an understanding or expectation of
compensation for his ideas. Harry, the parapsychologist, will prevail in the case against XYZ
network and Who's Got You Productions. Harry, the parapsychologist, will prevail in the case
against XYZ network and Who's Got You Productions. The combination of different legal
theories, including implied contract, and copyright infringement result in a favorable outcome for
Harry.
