Varsity Brands, Inc., 580 U.S. 405 (2017), was a <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">U.S. Supreme Court</a> case in which the court decided under what circumstances aesthetic elements of "useful articles" can be restricted by <a href="/wiki/Copyright" title="Copyright">copyright</a> law. The Court created a two-prong "separability" test, granting copyrightability based on separate identification and independent existence; the aesthetic elements must be identifiable as art if mentally separated from the article's practical use, and must qualify as copyrightable pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works if expressed in any medium. The case was a dispute between two clothing manufacturers, Star Athletica and <a href="/wiki/Varsity_Brands" title="Varsity Brands">Varsity Brands</a>. Star Athletica began creating <a href="/wiki/Cheerleading_uniform" title="Cheerleading uniform">cheerleading uniforms</a> with <a href="/wiki/Stripe_(pattern)" title="Stripe (pattern)">stripes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Zigzag" title="Zigzag">zigzags</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Chevron_(insignia)" title="Chevron (insignia)">chevron</a> insignia similar to those made by <a href="/wiki/Varsity_Spirit" title="Varsity Spirit">a Varsity subsidiary</a>, but at a lower price. Varsity sued Star Athletica for <a href="/wiki/Copyright_infringement" title="Copyright infringement">copyright infringement</a>, and Star Athletica said that the clothing designs were uncopyrightable because their aesthetic designs were tied closely to (and guided by) their utilitarian purpose as uniforms. The court rejected this argument with a close reading of the statute and established that the clothing designs, as aesthetic elements of a useful article of clothing, could be copyrightable. It declined to hear Star Athletica's follow-up question about whether Varsity's designs were original enough to be copyrightable, so that part of the case remained unaddressed and Varsity's copyright registrations stood. The court's conclusion that aesthetic elements of useful articles (and, thereby, clothing-design elements) could be copyrighted intrigued <a href="/wiki/Fashion_designer" class="mw-redirect" title="Fashion designer">fashion designers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Intellectual_property" title="Intellectual property">intellectual property</a> scholars. Some were pleased with the decision because they saw extending copyright to clothes as parity with other <a href="/wiki/Creative_industries" title="Creative industries">creative industries</a> which had had copyrights for much longer. Others denounced the court's opinion because of ambiguities in how to enforce the new rules and because of its potential to end <a href="/wiki/Fad" title="Fad">fashion trends</a> in generic clothing. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Star_Athletica,_LLC_v._Varsity_Brands,_Inc.&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fashion_was_uncopyrightable">Fashion was uncopyrightable</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Star_Athletica,_LLC_v._Varsity_Brands,_Inc.&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Fashion was uncopyrightable">edit</a>]</div> Clothing designs were originally <a href="/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_States#Works_subject_to_copyright_law" title="Copyright law of the United States">not subject to copyright law</a> ("uncopyrightable") in the United States.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-Telfer-3">[3]</a> In 1941, the court heard <a href="/wiki/Fashion_Originators%27_Guild_of_America_v._FTC" title="Fashion Originators' Guild of America v.

The court found that the designs were copyrightable because the clothes were usable as athletic wear and removing the designs did not affect their utility. Moore said that the design could be separately identifiable because it could be held "side by side" with a blank dress and there would be no utilitarian difference; it could exist independently, because individual aspects (such as chevrons) could appear in designs of other clothing items. She also said that a ruling in favor of Star Athletica would have rendered all paintings uncopyrightable because they decorated the rooms in which they hung. Judge <a href="/wiki/David_McKeague" title="David McKeague">David McKeague</a> dissented, disagreeing about the application of one of the test's steps. The third step asked the court to determine the useful article's "utilitarian aspects."

Stein decision:<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote">... an artistic feature of the design of a useful article is eligible for copyright protection if the feature (1) can be perceived as a two- or three-dimensional work of art separate from the useful article and (2) would qualify as a protectable pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work either on its own or in some other medium if imagined separately from the useful article.<a href="#cite_note-slipop11-69">[69]</a></blockquote> After applying this test to the cheerleading uniforms, the court ruled in Varsity's favor that the designs were separable from the useful article and could be copyrighted.<a href="#cite_note-CopyrightsAtTheSupremeCourt-66">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-slipop10-70">[70]</a> The separability analysis started with an admittedly-permissive first requirement, describing the designs as separately-identifiable "pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works." The design needed to exist independently, and Thomas concluded that it did when it appeared in other media (such as the two-dimensional drawings submitted to the Copyright Office). In his view, this conceptual separation would not necessarily recreate the useful dress because the design's elements (like the chevrons) could appear on items in different contexts;<a href="#cite_note-CopyrightsAtTheSupremeCourt-66">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-slipop7-8-71">[71]</a> the graphic design itself did not make a garment a cheerleader uniform, even it appeared on a different kind of clothing.<a href="#cite_note-slipop10-70">[70]</a> This analysis moved the consideration away from whether the item left after separation was useful, and to whether or not the design itself was useful. A feature incapable of separation was a utilitarian feature, Thomas said.<a href="#cite_note-CopyrightsAtTheSupremeCourt-66">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-slipop7-8-71">[71]</a> Addressing concerns that this would grant control over more than the design, Thomas said that the separated aesthetic element could not be a useful article; someone could not copyright a design and then exert control over its physical representation. A drawing (or small model) of a car, copyrighted, could not restrict production of a functional automobile with the same body by a competitor. The car drawing would not suppress a rival car manufacturer in the automobile market, so Varsity's uniform drawing would not suppress Star Athletica in the uniform market because their uniforms could have the same cut.<a href="#cite_note-slipop7-8-71">[71]</a> The final section of the opinion discussed objections to the decision raised by the parties in their briefs. There were no requirements that there be an equivalent useful article remaining after the design element was conceptually removed or that the removed element be "solely artistic." Thomas said that discussions of the blank dress were unnecessary because the statute did not require the remaining work to be useful (or "similarly useful", as the government had put it), because all that mattered was if the separated element was a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work. He said that adopting this requirement would have overruled Mazer; the statue in that case was considered "applied art" because the 1909 act had removed an earlier distinction between aesthetic and useful works of art. That distinction was not reinstated by the 1976 act, so there was no distinguishing between "conceptual" and "physical" separability.<a href="#cite_note-slipop12-15-72">[72]</a> Thomas rejected Star Athletica's additional, "objective" considerations from preexisting tests that a work be identified as artistic contributions from a designer, independent of its utilitarian purpose, and be marketable without the design's utilitarian function.<a href="#cite_note-CopyrightsAtTheSupremeCourt-66">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-slipop15-17-73">[73]</a> These were not within the statute and Thomas dismissed them, saying that all that mattered was consumer perception – not the design's intent. About <a href="/wiki/Legislative_history#United_States" title="Legislative history">Congress's reluctance</a> to apply copyright to useful articles in general, Thomas said that congressional inaction was not usually a significant judicial argument. He found much of the discussion moot; copyright could not restrict the cut of the design, and copyright coverage did not prevent design patenting.<a href="#cite_note-slipop15-17-73">[73]</a> Thomas rejected the arguments of Justice Breyer's dissent and Star Athletica's similar contention that the designs were uncopyrightable because they would have the same outline as the useful article. He analogized the uniform's design to a mural on a curved dome, saying that the contour of the dome would not make the mural uncopyrightable. He thought that Breyer's traditional view that a preexisting two-dimensional artwork applied to a portion of the clothing could be copyrighted was contradictory; the statute would provide copyright restriction to designs which covered part of the clothing surface, but not to designs that covered all of it.<a href="#cite_note-slipop11-69">[69]</a> Ginsburg's concurrence agreed on the second point in its notes; portions of Varsity's claimed uniform designs appear on other merchandise, such as T-shirts.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Concurring_opinion">Concurring opinion</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Star_Athletica,_LLC_v._Varsity_Brands,_Inc.&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Concurring opinion">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Attachment_to_2017_opinion_of_Justice_Ginsburg_in_Star_Athletica_v_Varsity_Brands.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="See caption" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Attachment_to_2017_opinion_of_Justice_Ginsburg_in_Star_Athletica_v_Varsity_Brands.png/220px-Attachment_to_2017_opinion_of_Justice_Ginsburg_in_Star_Athletica_v_Varsity_Brands.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="335" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Attachment_to_2017_opinion_of_Justice_Ginsburg_in_Star_Athletica_v_Varsity_Brands.png/330px-Attachment_to_2017_opinion_of_Justice_Ginsburg_in_Star_Athletica_v_Varsity_Brands.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/Attachment_to_2017_opinion_of_Justice_Ginsburg_in_Star_Athletica_v_Varsity_Brands.png 2x" data-file-width="341" data-file-height="520" /></a><figcaption>Page six of Justice Ginsburg's <a href="/wiki/Concurring_opinion" title="Concurring opinion">concurring opinion</a>, which noted that the designs were registered with the U.S. Copyright Office as two-dimensional artwork</figcaption></figure> Justice Ginsburg wrote an opinion, concurring that the cheerleading uniform designs were separable without joining in the majority's reasoning, and emphasized that the copyrights were not registered for the useful articles of clothing; the registrations were for pictorial and graphic works which were then reproduced on the clothing.<a href="#cite_note-HLR-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> Because the Copyright Act of 1976 provided copyright claimants "the right to reproduce the work in or on any kind of article, whether useful or otherwise,"<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> the claimant of a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work's copyright could restrict others from reproducing the work's elements on their useful articles.

While Breyer agreed with much of the majority's reasoning, he disagreed with the framing and application of the majority's test and concluded that the design was not separable from the uniform as a useful article.<a href="#cite_note-breyer1-79">[79]</a> Breyer also criticized what he considered vagueness in the majority's test. He thought that under it, "virtually any industrial design" could be considered separable as soon as it was thought of in terms of art, whether giving it a picture frame or <a href="/wiki/Found_object" title="Found object">merely calling an object "art"</a> (like a <a href="/wiki/Marcel_Duchamp" title="Marcel Duchamp">Marcel Duchamp</a> <a href="/wiki/Readymades_of_Marcel_Duchamp" title="Readymades of Marcel Duchamp">series</a>).<a href="#cite_note-HLR-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> Breyer's approach to the problem was to interpret what "identified separately" meant in the context of the statute. His reading was that to be separable, the design features needed to be physically separable from the article (leaving the utilitarian object functional) or the design features needed to be conceivably separable without conjuring a picture of the utilitarian object in a person's mind. He returned to Mazer v. Stein and applied his reasoning to two lamps, one with a <a href="/wiki/Siamese_cat" title="Siamese cat">Siamese cat</a> statuette for a pole and one with a brass-rod pole and a cat statuette attached to its base. On the base, the cat could be physically separable and was copyrightable as a figurine. When the cat was the pole, it could not be physically separated; it could be conceptually separated from the context of the lamp without conjuring the idea of a lamp, however, and was copyrightable as a figurine.<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> Applying his version of the test to the cheerleader uniforms, he found that the design was not physically separable. Picturing the design separately would reveal a cheerleader uniform "coextensive with that design and cut", so the design and useful article were not conceptually separable either.<a href="#cite_note-CopyrightsAtTheSupremeCourt-66">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-breyer1-79">[79]</a><a href="#cite_note-breyer11-82">[82]</a> Breyer then considered <a href="/wiki/Still_life_paintings_by_Vincent_van_Gogh_(Paris)#Pair_of_shoes" title="Still life paintings by Vincent van Gogh (Paris)">shoes painted by</a> <a href="/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh" title="Vincent van Gogh">Vincent van Gogh</a> and turned to the examples of Congress's intended targets of copyright in the amicus curiae brief filed by the Intellectual Property Professors. He found that copyrighting those embellishments was not the same as copyrighting an entire cheerleading uniform design; those examples were conceptually separable, while the uniform design was not. Breyer reiterated that van Gogh could certainly have received a copyright to prevent people from reproducing his painting, but the request in Star Athletica was an injunction against reproducing uniforms; he felt that this decision would be equivalent to giving van Gogh a design copyright which could prevent others from producing those shoes.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> He accused Varsity Brands of trying to acquire copyrights to "prevent its competitors from making useful three-dimensional cheerleader uniforms by submitting plainly unoriginal chevrons and stripes as cut and arranged on a useful article."<a href="#cite_note-breyer11-82">[82]</a> Breyer studied the state of the fashion industry at the time of the decision. Recent Congresses had rejected 70 bills to extend copyright to cover designs on useful articles, which he interpreted as <a href="/wiki/Legislative_intent" title="Legislative intent">an unwillingness of lawmakers</a> to enact the change.

Although it was important to her because she believed that fashion designers deserved to restrict their designs with copyright, she did not think that it would change things for designers because it was based on the language of the preexisting statute.<a href="#cite_note-OneYearLater-85">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> On March 31, 2017,<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> <a href="/wiki/Puma_SE" class="mw-redirect" title="Puma SE">Puma</a> sued <a href="/wiki/Forever_21" title="Forever 21">Forever 21</a> for alleged violations of Puma's intellectual-property rights.

Forever 21, a supplier of knock-offs, had been sued for copyright infringement in the past; this was among the first times that a company used the argument that, in the case of Puma's <a href="/wiki/Rihanna" title="Rihanna">Fenty</a> Fur Slides, their "wide plush fur strap extending to the base of the sandal" was capable of being represented in another medium and was covered by copyright as separable from the shoe itself.

Fromer and Mark P. McKenna criticized the decision's ambiguity; the three major stages of litigation resulted in three different majority decisions on three different grounds, with more divergent opinions in the dissents and concurrence. The courts allowed Varsity to define extremely narrow copyright restrictions in the registration and then sue others (such as Star Athletica) with court filings that only described the designs generally, so Fromer and McKenna were concerned that this disconnect in requirements would lead to more controversial lawsuits (even outside the useful-article realm). A model car could be copyrighted as a sculpture, a drawing of that model could be copyrighted, and the claimant could use the features of either to file copyright claims. Which features of either were actually restricted was left up to debate, because the registration's description could diverge from a lawsuit. Fromer and McKenna said that it would be impossible to know what the copyright holder considered restricted before they described it in a lawsuit or before the second party began copying. In the absence of a description, they said that it was impossible to perform a separability analysis and determine if the feature was copyrightable before litigation began.<a href="#cite_note-ClaimingDesign-10">[10]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Expanded_separability">Expanded separability</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Star_Athletica,_LLC_v._Varsity_Brands,_Inc.&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Expanded separability">edit</a>]</div> The <a href="/wiki/Harvard_Law_Review" title="Harvard Law Review">Harvard Law Review</a> said that Star Athletica was an important step towards removing subjectivity from the tests in this area of the law, removing the framing problem which changed the outcome of the analysis based on the definition of article usefulness. The decision may not fully resolve conflicting lower-court rulings, however, because its majority and dissent were based on close readings of the statute without enough differentiating examples in the majority to discredit the alternative view. Potential contradictions in Thomas's majority opinion (assertions that surface designs are "inherently separable" from useful articles without being useful articles themselves, and other clothing with the design do not conjure the original useful article) may muddy the waters. According to the Review, "These <a href="/wiki/Dicta" class="mw-redirect" title="Dicta">dicta</a> imply that the independently existing work can have the shape and look of the article, evoke the same concepts, and even perform the same function and still be separable" (making it copyrightable).<a href="#cite_note-HLR-7">[7]</a> Silvertop Assocs., Inc. v.

The 2018 refusal was because the Copyright Office determined that the shoes' design did not meet the originality requirement. On its third consideration, the office determined that the two- and three-dimensional designs could be perceived separately from the shoes and their design's individually-uncopyrightable elements combined to overcome the originality requirement.<a href="#cite_note-JusticeBreyerFear-112">[112]</a><a href="#cite_note-OtherShoeDrops-113">[113]</a> The Yeezy's color design overcoming the originality requirement may spur fashion companies to pursue copyright more aggressively for designs more complex than basic shape variations.<a href="#cite_note-OtherShoeDrops-113">[113]</a> The Yeezy designs had already been restricted by the design-patent system, so the Copyright Office's decision was also read to establish that copyright was an acceptable addition to design patents for useful articles in general and clothing in particular.<a href="#cite_note-BoostForCopyright-115">[115]</a> This was an outcome the Intellectual Property Professors<a href="#cite_note-IntellectualPropertyProfessorsBrief-56">[56]</a> and Justice Breyer feared while Star Athletica was under consideration,<a href="#cite_note-116">[116]</a> although Justice Thomas said that they were "not mutually exclusive" according to Mazer v.
