- throwaway81523 2y agoI don't know. Maybe it is a coin toss. The CAFC is famous for being pro patent (idk about copyright). SCOTUS has actually been kind of reasonable, since Eldred which they messed up.
- hn_acker 2y agoEldred v. Ashcroft (2003) [1] was bad enough (applying the 1988 copyright term extension to existing copyrighted works, including those about to enter the public domain), but there was also the Golan v. Holder (2012) [2] ruling allowing the same term extension to apply to foreign-made works that had already entered the public domain in the US.
