Abstract

In Gaylord v. U.S., the Federal Circuit addressed the right of the federal government to issue postage stamps depicting copyrighted sculptures that were part of a federally-funded war memorial. In addition, the court addressed, in a matter of first impression for the Federal Circuit, the concept of a "joint work" in federal copyright law. Mary LaFrance discusses this interesting and novel issue.
