Fair Use Opinions by Court, January 1, 2019–February 8, 2022

Last year, in celebration of Fair Use Week, the IPAT clinic took a deep dive into fair use. We looked at every written judicial opinion that discussed fair use from the beginning of 2019 through February 2021, and made them available in a searchable, sortable database with abstracts and commentary and links to copies of every single case. We learned a lot, and the resources we made available were used by many scholars, students, and attorneys across the country.

Fair Use Jurisprudence Project Launch

UC Irvine School of Law

On Thursday, February 24, the UCI Intellectual Property, Arts, and Technology Clinic at UC Irvine School of Law launched its updated Fair Use Jurisprudence Project, with data on written fair use opinions going back to 2013 as well as abstracts of every written judicial opinion on fair use from 2019 through this week—over 130 abstracts—along with some preliminary analysis. This data builds on work we released during Fair Use Week 2021, and will be sortable by court, type of copyrighted work, and other variables.
