The Supreme Court accepted the cassation appeal filed by the defendant, T. S.A., regarding a copyright infringement suit brought by plaintiffs P. A. and A. J. The court found that the lower courts correctly determined the defendants failed to prove the disputed materials were in the public domain or exempt from protection.
