Unicolors, Inc. v. H&M Hennes & Mauritz, L. P.

Summary

The Court held that 17 U.S.C. §411(b)(1)(A) excuses an inaccurate copyright registration when the registrant lacked actual knowledge of the inaccuracy, whether that knowledge pertains to factual or legal errors, and vacated the Ninth Circuit’s judgment, remanding for further proceedings.
