In a recent decision by a New York federal court, a copyright infringement case involving artist Jeff Koons has been dismissed. The case revolved around Koons’s notorious ‘Made In Heaven’ series, which includes a specific contentious piece featuring a snake sculpture and elements from the life of an Italian porn star turned politician intertwined with a complex divorce scenario. The court’s ruling pointed out that the lawsuit was brought to light too late, lacking timeliness necessary within legal frameworks.
