Dispute Summary
The plaintiff, a publisher, alleged that the defendants infringed its copyright by reproducing contents from its academic mathematics textbooks in guide books. The plaintiff sought an interim injunction to restrain this infringement. However, the court found that while the plaintiffs' texts lacked step-by-step solutions, the defendants' guides provided them, making their work 'transformative' and amounting to a 'review' under Section 52(1)(a)(ii) of the Act.
