In this case they're saying they wouldn't register it, you could still try to take someone to court for copyright infringement. But you'd be rolling the dice since "the copyright office says it's unfit for registration" is probably a pretty convincing defense to the average judge. It wouldn't be the first time there was an argument over whether a work was copyrightable or who had the rights, though - for example the Monkey Selfie case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_dispute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disput...
