Appeals Court Confirms Photographer's Rights in Case

After a photo license expired, company continued to use images

The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) announced that a recent Federal Appeals Court decision was favorable to photographers everywhere. The lawsuit, known as Jarvis v. K2 Inc., was filed by ASMP member Chase Jarvis and his attorneys, with pretrial assistance from ASMP. ASMP also filed an amicus curiae brief for the appeal, raising points of law that could not be argued during the trial. In its decision, the court held that an advertiser who licenses photos and uses them to create a collage must continue to honor all license restrictions that came with the original photos. In particular, if the license specified a limited time to use the images, the collage also cannot be used beyond that time.
