A Las Vegas-based promotional website has recently filed a lawsuit against a food photo licensing company that has been under scrutiny for its alleged “copyright trolling” practices. Facts available point out the plaintiff has approached a Utah federal court, asking for a declaration that it has not violated any copyrights through its use of a stock photo advertising a Circus Circus Hotel & Casino steakhouse.
Kelly Lienhard reports on Law360 that this case could be an important pivot in the larger conversation around copyrights and photography licensing within the digital space.
This case would be of particular interest to legal professionals working in copyright and intellectual property law, as it could set a precedent for future disputes in this area.
