Indiana Copyright Litigation Update – Keystone Builders Resource Group v. Kennis R. Went, Jr. et al

Architectural drawings are copyrightable. In this matter, Defendant has allegedly used Plaintiff’s architectural drawings without authorization. Note that the court’s scanned copy is missing Page 9 (and many of the pages are askew), so there’s a third claim I did not reference.

Let me know in the comments if you’re interested in updates to this case.
