Second Circuit

Meredith Corp. v. Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc.

500 F.2d 1221, 182 U.S.P.Q. (BNA) 577

Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit·Decided July 8, 1974·No. No. 1228, Docket 74-1726·Published·Cited by 7 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The appellants assert error in the grant of a preliminary injunction.

This is essentially a dispute between the publishers of competing textbooks in the child development field. The defendants-appellees, seeking redress as copyright holders, convinced Judge Owen upon a persuasive factual record that they would probably succeed on the merits, that the appellants had plagiarized their textbook, and that there was need for immediate relief. There was a sufficient basis for the findings and conclusions of the District Court and since they are not clearly erroneous, Fed.R. Civ.P. 52(a), we affirm.
