Third Circuit Rules on Issues of First Impression in Copyright Case

The New Jersey Law Journal reports on two issues of first impression the Third Circuit reached in a copyright case:

* one, courts don't have the power to cancel copyright registrations; 

* two,  the three-year statute of limiations for copyright infringement claims do not start to run for alleged joint authors of copyrighted works "until a claimant is alerted to the potential violation of his or rights through a co-author's express repudiation."
