Videographer Fights 4th Circ.’s Choice To Shipwreck IP Suit

By Editorial Team

A videographer and his production company are pushing back against the Fourth Circuit’s decision to dismiss their copyright infringement lawsuit regarding footage of Blackbeard’s shipwreck. They are urging the full Fourth Circuit to allow them to revive the case, arguing that the panel’s recent opinion to terminate the lawsuit created new and overly broad pathways for pendent jurisdiction.

The videographer and his production company filed a petition on Monday, seeking to overturn the panel’s decision and continue pursuing their copyright infringement claims.

The case involves intricate legal arguments surrounding copyright infringement, intellectual property rights, and jurisdictional issues. The videographer and his company are determined to challenge the ruling and fight for their rights in court.
