Nope, sovereign immunity insulates federal government from patent or copyright claims. > states enjoy unfettered sovereign immunity with respect to copyright,

  Actually, sovereign immunity protects states, but not the federal government. (In the specific case of IP, not in general. This is because the fed. gov. waived sovereign immunity for itself and the states, but the courts found that the fed. gov. couldn't waive the immunity on the state's behalf.)

      Of course, I should have pointed out IANAL, don't rely on it for what you're doing, yada yada.
