Rowling and Warner win lexicon battle, fair use proponents gain strategic advantage

Susan Hall
Cobbetts LLP

Warner Bros Entertainment Inc and JK Rowling v RDR Books and Does 1-10 (07 Civ. 9667) (United States District Court, Southern District of New York), Judge Robert B. Patterson Jr, 8 September 2008

Judge Robert B. Patterson found that the unofficial Harry Potter Lexicon written by Steve Vander Ark and published by RDR Books infringed the copyright in the seven Harry Potter novels and two companion works (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages) and that the defence of fair use did not apply.
