WASHINGTON, June 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court Monday refused to hear two copyright cases based on continuing disputes over famous literary works.
Scotusblog.com reports that the high court chose to forgo deciding separate copyright cases involving Dwight D. Eisenhower's "Crusade in Europe" and A.A. Milne's "Winnie the Pooh" children stories.
Clare Milne, the granddaughter of the "Winnie the Pooh" author, had asked the justices to let her continue her ongoing attempt to gain control of the copyright of the stories from Stephen Slesinger Inc.
The copyright case surrounding Eisenhower's "Crusade in Europe" is also no stranger to the court, with past copyright issues being brought before it by Dastar Corp., the Web site said
A court had ruled against Dastar Corp. on copyright aspects of the memoir, but the company had won a ruling regarding a trademark issue in a separate hearing.
