Ninth Circuit in Seven Arts on Copyright Statute of Limitations
The Copyright Act has a three year statute of limitations, however it is determined on a ‘rolling’ basis for normal copyright claims. The Court may consider acts that occurred up to three years prior to the date of filing the complaint. However, a dispute over copyright ownership between the parties occurs only once – suit must be brought within three years of the repudiation of plaintiff’s ownership.
Now a day copyright is a big issue.
