Supreme Court of the United States
Kirtsaeng, Dba Bluechristine99 v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. — Kagan, J., Concurring
March 19, 2013133 S. Ct. 1351
Summary
Justice Kagan, joined by Justice Alito, concurs in the judgment but expresses concern that the Court’s decision, when combined with Quality King Distributors, Inc. v. L’anza Research International, Inc., may restrict the scope of 17 U.S.C. § 602(a)(1)’s importation ban. She argues that any adverse effect stems from Quality King rather than today’s decision, and suggests Congress should address the issue if it views the limitation as problematic.
