Snyder</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the Second Circuit held that a derivative work must be original relative to the underlying work on which it is based. Otherwise, it cannot enjoy copyright protection and copying it will not infringe any copyright of the derivative work itself (although copying it may infringe the copyright, if any, of the underlying work on which the derivative work was based). </p><p>The <i>Batlin</i> case rested on the copyrightability of an "Uncle Sam" toy bank, first copyrighted in 1886. These toys have Uncle Sam's extended arm and outstretched hand adapted to receive a coin; when the user presses a lever, Uncle Sam appears to put the coin into a carpet bag. One maker of these banks, Jeffrey Snyder, had filed a copyright on such a bank in 1975, planning to import them for the American Bicentennial. Shortly thereafter, another company, L. Batlin & Sons, Inc., also began making a very similar toy bank which was based on Snyder's version (and not, incidentally, on the 19th century original). When the latter attempted to import the toy banks, the US Customs service notified them that they appeared to be infringing on Snyder's copyright, and would not allow the toy banks to be imported. Batlin then got an injunction against Snyder to deny the recording of his copyright and allowing them to import their banks. On appeal to the Second Circuit Court, Snyder took great pains to demonstrate how his banks varied in size and shape from the 19th century original, arguing that his banks, though similar to the older work, differed in a number of significant ways and warranted protection under a new copyright. However, his appeal was denied and the injunction against Snyder's copyright upheld (six members of the court voted to deny, the other three filing a dissenting opinion). Much of this decision focused on the fact that nearly all of the alterations in Snyder's version were made solely to allow the object to be more easily manufactured in plastic rather than metal, and therefore were functional, not artistic or creative.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> "To extend copyrightability to minuscule variations would simply put a weapon for harassment in the hands of mischievous copiers intent on appropriating and monopolizing public domain work." The issue was not whether or not Batlin's bank was a copy of Snyder's— it undoubtedly was— but whether or not Snyder could claim copyright protection, which the court decided he could not. </p><p>In the subsequent <i>Durham</i> case, the court applied the same principle in a suit between two different Disney toy licensees in which one licensee claimed that the other had pirated his <a href="/wiki/Mickey_Mouse" title="Mickey Mouse">Mickey Mouse</a>, <a href="/wiki/Donald_Duck" title="Donald Duck">Donald Duck</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pluto_(Disney)" title="Pluto (Disney)">Pluto</a>. Durham conceded that in making these toys it used Tomy's Disney figures as models. That was not determinative. The court said that "the only aspects of Tomy's Disney figures entitled to copyright protection are the non-trivial, original features, if any, contributed by the author or creator of these derivative works." But Tomy's toys reflected "no independent creation, no distinguishable variation from preexisting works, nothing recognizably the author's own contribution that sets Tomy's figures apart from the prototypical Mickey, Donald, and Pluto, authored by Disney and subsequently represented by Disney or its licensees in a seemingly limitless variety of forms and media." Because the court considered that "it is clear that the originality requirement imposed by the Constitution and the Copyright Act has particular significance in the case of derivative works based on copyrighted preexisting works," it denied relief and dismissed the claim. Thus the law is clear that a derivative work is protectable only to the extent that it embodies original expression. Its non-original aspects are not copyright-protectable (what is loosely called "uncopyrightable"). </p><p>In both of these cases, the defendants were held not to be liable for copyright infringement, even though they presumably copied a considerable amount from the plaintiff's work. They were not liable because the plaintiff did not enjoy copyright protection. The plaintiffs' works lacked enough originality to acquire copyright protection of their own. They were too close to the original works on which they were based. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Lawful_works_requirement">Lawful works requirement</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Derivative_work&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Lawful works requirement"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Copyright ownership in a derivative work attaches only if the derivative work is lawful, because of a license or other "authorization."

Nintendo and <a href="/wiki/Sega" title="Sega">Sega</a> produced video game consoles. Each stored the games in plastic cartridges that provided game data to the consoles. By way of analogy, the Sega hardware console's "platform" differed from Nintendo's, as a <a href="/wiki/Macintosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Macintosh">Macintosh</a> platform differs from that of a <a href="/wiki/IBM_PC_compatible" class="mw-redirect" title="IBM PC compatible">PC</a>. Hence, a video game cartridge that works on one system does not work on the other. Sega and Nintendo sought to "license" access to their hardware platforms, and each company developed software "locks" to keep out cartridges that did not have the proper "key." Accolade sought a license from Sega for its key, but negotiations broke down over price. Accolade then decided to reverse engineer Sega's lock and key system. To do so, it had to download (copy) all of the computer code from Sega's product and disassemble it (translate it from machine code into human-readable assembly). Accolade succeeded and began to market new video games that it independently wrote, which were capable of being operated in Sega consoles. This led to copyright infringement litigation, in which Sega alleged that the downloading was improper copying (reproduction) of Sega's code. The court held that Sega was trying to use the copyright in its computer code to maintain a monopoly over the sale of video games, to which it was not legally entitled. Accolade downloaded the computer code only to ascertain how the lock worked, so that it could make a key that would permit its games to work in Sega consoles. The court held that such a use was fair use: "We conclude that where disassembly is the only way to gain access to the ideas and functional elements embodied in a copyrighted computer program and where there is a legitimate reason for seeking such access, disassembly is a fair use of the copyrighted work, as a matter of law."<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, since the passage of the anti-circumvention statutes contained in the <a href="/wiki/DMCA" class="mw-redirect" title="DMCA">DMCA</a>, further court cases involving the fair-use defense of such activities have yet<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.">Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.</a></i> The Court's opinion emphasized the importance of transformativeness in its fair use analysis of the parody of "<a href="/wiki/Oh,_Pretty_Woman" title="Oh, Pretty Woman">Oh, Pretty Woman</a>" involved in the <i>Campbell</i> case. In parody, as the Court explained, the transformativeness is the new insight that readers, listeners, or viewers gain from the parodic treatment of the original work. As the Court pointed out, the words of the parody "derisively demonstrat[e] how bland and banal the Orbison [Pretty Woman] song" is. </p><p>The modern emphasis of transformativeness in fair use analysis stems from a 1990 article by Judge <a href="/wiki/Pierre_N._Leval" title="Pierre N. Leval">Pierre N. Leval</a> in the <i><a href="/wiki/Harvard_Law_Review" title="Harvard Law Review">Harvard Law Review</a></i>, "Toward a Fair Use Standard",<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which the Court quoted and cited extensively in its <i>Campbell</i> opinion. In his article, Leval explained the social importance of transformative use of another's work and what justifies such a taking: </p> <blockquote> <p>I believe the answer to the question of justification turns primarily on whether, and to what extent, the challenged use is transformative. The use must be productive and must employ the quoted matter in a different manner or for a different purpose from the original. ...[If] the secondary use adds value to the original--if the quoted matter is used as raw material, transformed in the creation of new information, new aesthetics, new insights and understandings--this is the very type of activity that the fair use doctrine intends to protect for the enrichment of society. <br /><br />Transformative uses may include criticizing the quoted work, exposing the character of the original author, proving a fact, or summarizing an idea argued in the original in order to defend or rebut it. They also may include parody, symbolism, aesthetic declarations, and innumerable other uses. </p> </blockquote> <p>The concept, as Leval and the <i>Campbell</i> Court described it, developed in relation to fair use of traditional works: literary works, musical works, and pictorial works. But recently courts have extended this rationale to Internet and computer-related works. In such cases, as illustrated by <i><a href="/wiki/Kelly_v._Arriba_Soft_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corporation">Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corporation</a></i><sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <i><a href="/wiki/Perfect_10,_Inc._v._Amazon.com,_Inc." title="Perfect 10, Inc. v.

Amazon.com, Inc.</a></i>,<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the courts find a use (such as that of thumbnails in an image search engine, for indexing purposes) transformative because it provides an added benefit to the public, which was not previously available and might remain unavailable without the derivative or secondary use. The <a href="/wiki/Ninth_Circuit_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="Ninth Circuit Court">Ninth Circuit Court</a> explained this in the <i>Perfect 10</i> case: </p> <blockquote> <p>Google's use of thumbnails is highly transformative. In <i>Kelly</i> we concluded that Arriba's use of thumbnails was transformative because "Arriba's use of the images served a different function than Kelly's use — improving access to information on the Internet versus artistic expression." Although an image may have been created originally to serve an entertainment, aesthetic, or informative function, a search engine transforms the image into a pointer directing a user to a source of information. Just as a "parody has an obvious claim to transformative value" because "it can provide social benefit, by shedding light on an earlier work, and, in the process, creating a new one," a search engine provides social benefit by incorporating an original work into a new work, namely, an electronic reference tool. Indeed, a search engine may be more transformative than a parody because a search engine provides an entirely new use for the original work, while a parody typically has the same entertainment purpose as the original work. <br /><br />…In conducting our case-specific analysis of fair use in light of the purposes of copyright, we must weigh Google's superseding and commercial uses of thumbnail images against Google's significant transformative use, as well as the extent to which Google's search engine promotes the purposes of copyright and serves the interests of the public. Although the district court acknowledged the "truism that search engines such as <a href="/wiki/Google_Image_Search" class="mw-redirect" title="Google Image Search">Google Image Search</a> provide great value to the public," the district court did not expressly consider whether this value outweighed the significance of Google's superseding use or the commercial nature of Google's use. The Supreme Court, however, has directed us to be mindful of the extent to which a use promotes the purposes of copyright and serves the interests of the public. <br /><br />…We conclude that the significantly transformative nature of Google's search engine, particularly in light of its public benefit, outweighs Google's superseding and commercial uses of the thumbnails in this case. … We are also mindful of the Supreme Court's direction that "the more transformative the new work, the less will be the significance of other factors, like commercialism, that may weigh against a finding of fair use." </p> </blockquote> <p>The Ninth Circuit's treatment of transformativeness and fair use in the <i>Arriba Soft</i> and <i>Perfect 10</i> cases illustrates different data points on the copyright infringement spectrum, at least with respect to transformativeness and fair use. <i>Arriba Soft</i> was a relatively polar case. The harm to Kelly, the copyright owner, was negligible; it was hardly more than hurt feelings, because as the Ninth Circuit said in its opinion – "Arriba's creation and use of the thumbnails [the derivative work] does not harm the market for or value of Kelly' s images." On the other hand, the court found that Arriba's use benefited the public: "Arriba's use of the images serves a different function than Kelly's use — improving access to information on the internet versus artistic expression." The balance thus tilted strongly in Arriba's favor. The foregoing analysis in this case thus made the Ninth Circuit to be the first court to make the equation <i>highly beneficial to public = transformative</i>, and as the Supreme Court explained in <i>Campbell</i>, the more transformative a derivative use the more likely the use is to be a fair use. </p><p>The <i>Campbell</i> Court recognized that the balance may not always be one-sided, as it was in <i>Campbell</i> itself and in <i>Arriba Soft</i>. In the <i>Perfect 10</i> case the interests were more evenly balanced, for the first time in a derivative work case involving new information technology. Both Google and Perfect 10 had legitimate interests at stake and support for their respective positions. Thus, there was a finding that "Google's wide-ranging use of thumbnails is highly transformative: their creation and display is designed to, and does, display visual search results quickly and efficiently to users of Google Image Search." But Google's use had some commercial aspects and was claimed to impair P10's commercial interests.

French law protects derivative works as "œuvres composites" or as "une œuvre dérivée." See Article L. 112–13 of the French Intellectual Property Code (CODE DE LA PROPRIÉTÉ INTELLECTUELLE, Art. L.112–13). The German Copyright Act, UrhG, sec. 3, 23, and 69c No. 2, protects translations (<i>Übersetzungen</i>) and other adaptations (<i>andere Bearbeitungen</i>), as well as other types of elaborations such as dramatizations, orchestrations, and new versions of works. In Spain, Art.11 TRLPI grants protection to derivative works such as translations, adaptations, revisions, musical arrangements and any transformation of a literary, artistic, or scientific work. Art. 4 of the Italian Copyright Act affords protection to creative elaborations of works, such as translations in another language, transformations from a literary or artistic form into another one, modifications or additions that constitute a substantial remake of the original work, adaptations, "reductions" (intended as shorter versions of protected works), compendia, and variations which do not constitute original works. In the Netherlands, Article 10-2 of the Dutch Copyright Act states that reproductions in a modified form of a work of literature, science or art, such as translations, musical arrangements, adaptations, and other elaborations, can be protected as original, without prejudice to the primary work. The Berne Convention, Art. 2, § 3 states: "Translations, adaptations, arrangements of music and other alterations of a literary or artistic work shall be protected as original works without prejudice to the copyright of the original work." This provision is incorporated into the TRIPS Agreement.

The Court noted that parodies are usually unauthorized works. However, the Office states in its <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://copyright.gov/comp3/chap300/ch300-copyrightable-authorship.pdf">Compendium</a> of its Practices (3d ed.), § 313.6(B): <blockquote><p>"Ordinarily, the Office will not examine the preexisting material that appears in a derivative work, a compilation, or a <a href="/wiki/Collective_work_(US)" title="Collective work (US)">collective work</a> to determine whether that material is protected by copyright or whether it has been used in a lawful manner. However, the registration specialist may communicate with the applicant if the preexisting material has not been excluded from the claim and it is reasonably clear that the claimant may not own the copyright in that material, such as a mix tape containing a compilation of well-known sound recordings. The Office also may question derivative claims that appear to be unlawful and that are inseparable or intertwined with an underlying work, such as stage directions for a dramatic work."</p></blockquote> <p>For further discussion, see <a href="/wiki/Rebecca_Tushnet" title="Rebecca Tushnet">Rebecca Tushnet</a>'s 43(B)log, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://tushnet.blogspot.com/2008/02/thomas-tank-engine-of-free-expression.html"><i>Thomas</i></a> <i>the Tank Engine of free expression</i> (Feb, 21, 2008). </p> </span></li> <li id="cite_note-19"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-19">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 19085 (2d Cir.
