Nealy,<\/em> the plaintiffs filed a lawsuit alleging various music compositions that they own and recorded over 35 years ago were incorporated into a 2008 Flo Rida song \u201cIn the Ayer\u201d without their permission.<a href=\"#_edn1\" id=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a>&nbsp; While the reasons for the delay are long, and involve multiple periods of incarceration and subsequent licenses and transfers among other entities, suffice it to say that plaintiffs claim they learned of the alleged infringement in January 2016 and filed this lawsuit in December 2018\u2014more than ten years after the alleged infringement began and almost three years after learning about it.<a href=\"#_edn2\" id=\"_ednref2\">[ii]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Southern District of Florida relied on the Supreme Court precedence from a previous caseto conclude that \u201c[a]lthough an action\u2026accrues when a plaintiff knew or should have known that their rights were being infringed, their damages are limited to the three-year period before they filed suit even if the infringement went further back than the three-year period.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn3\" id=\"_ednref3\">[iii]<\/a>&nbsp; The Eleventh Circuit reversed on an interlocutory appeal, applying the discovery rule and therefore holding that a \u201ca copyright plaintiff may recover retrospective relief for infringement occurring more than three years before the lawsuit\u2019s filing so long as the plaintiff\u2019s claim is timely under the discovery rule.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn4\" id=\"_ednref4\">[iv]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court has granted certiorari on this question presented: \u201cWhether, under the discovery accrual rule applied by the circuit courts and the Copyright Act\u2019s statute of limitations for civil actions, 17 U. S. C. \u00a7507(b), a copyright plaintiff can recover damages for acts that allegedly occurred more than three years before the filing of a lawsuit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The briefing is scheduled to be completed in January 2024, with an anticipated oral argument scheduled during February 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pursuant to the statute of limitations set forth by the Copyright Act, a plaintiff in a copyright infringement action must bring suit within three years after the claim \u201caccrues.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn5\" id=\"_ednref5\">[v]<\/a>&nbsp; Claims normally \u201caccrue\u201d when the alleged infringement occurs.&nbsp; Therefore, if infringement occurs within three years of a plaintiff bringing the suit, the plaintiff can claim three years of damages.&nbsp; For example, in <em>Petrella v. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc.<\/em>,<a href=\"#_edn6\" id=\"_ednref6\">[vi]<\/a> the plaintiff brought a copyright infringement lawsuit involving the Martin Scorsese movie \u201cRaging Bull\u201d based on the life of boxing champion Jake LaMotta.&nbsp; While the alleged infringement was based upon the releases and re-releases of the film in different mediums like VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. over a lot of years, the plaintiff sought damages for only the three years prior to filing the lawsuit.&nbsp; MGM moved for summary judgment invoking the doctrine of laches, which is an equitable theory that the plaintiff cannot unreasonably delay bringing a lawsuit. However, the U.S. Supreme Court found that when an infringing act occurs within the three-year limitations\u2019 period, laches cannot bar the pursuit of damages for those three years only.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Petrella<\/em>, the discovery rule\u2014a doctrine that says a claim \u201caccrues\u201d when the plaintiff discovers, or with due diligence should have discovered, the basis for the claim\u2014did not apply because alleged acts of infringement did occur during the three years prior to the lawsuit being filed.&nbsp; <em>Petrella <\/em>thereforeleft open the question as to what happens when no infringement occurs in the immediately preceding three years of the lawsuit, but the plaintiff sued when it discovered the earlier infringement.&nbsp; Right now, a circuit split exists between the Second Circuit on the one hand and the Ninth and Eleventh Circuits on the other. This question will be decided in 2024 when the Supreme Court decides <em>Warner Chappell Music Inc. v. Nealy<\/em>.<a href=\"#_edn7\" id=\"_ednref7\">[vii]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why This Case Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two biggest centers of copyright litigation\u2014the Ninth and Second Circuits\u2014have been split on this issue.&nbsp; In the 2020 <em>Sohm v. Scholastic Inc. <\/em>decision, the Second Circuit felt bound by <em>Petrella <\/em>and held that a three-year limitation of damages applies regardless of whether the discovery rule applies, despite recognizing that such a holding undermined the purpose of the discovery rule as the plaintiff could have a timely claim but no available relief.<a href=\"#_edn8\" id=\"_ednref8\">[viii]<\/a>&nbsp; The Ninth Circuit, on the other hand, reached the opposite conclusion in 2023 in <em>Starz Entertainment, LLC v. MGM Domestic Television Distribution, LLC<\/em>, finding instead that the Copyright Act \u201cthree years after the claim accrued\u201d language says nothing about remedies, and limiting damages to three years when the discovery rule applied would \u201ceviscerate the discovery rule.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn9\" id=\"_ednref9\">[ix]<\/a>&nbsp; Of course, with <em>Warner Chappell<\/em>,now the Eleventh Circuit is aligned with the Ninth Circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Sixth Circuit has not weighed in on this issue, several courts within the Sixth Circuit have and themselves are at odds here.&nbsp; On the one hand, the Southern District of Ohio in <em>Navarro v. Procter &amp; Gamble, Company <\/em>ultimately sided with the Second Circuit but only after grappling with the exact tension now being decided by the Supreme Court: the tension between the statute of limitations and discovery rule precedence on the one hand and the <em>Petrella <\/em>precedence on the other.<a href=\"#_edn10\" id=\"_ednref10\">[x]<\/a>&nbsp; Courts in the Northern District of Ohio and Western District of Kentucky, have declined to read <em>Petrella <\/em>as barring recovery for damages that occurred more than three years before suit.<a href=\"#_edn11\" id=\"_ednref11\">[xi]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As this upcoming Supreme Court decision will affect copyright infringement cases moving forward, Dinsmore attorneys will be following this issue closely and advising our clients on any new developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" id=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> No. 1:18-cv-25474, 2021 U.S. Dist.
