Meredith Corp. v. Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit · Decided July 8, 1974
500 F.2d 1221; 182 U.S.P.Q. (BNA) 577 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Meredith Corp. v. Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

The appellants assert error in the grant of a preliminary injunction.

This is essentially a dispute between the publishers of competing textbooks in the child development field. The defendants-appellees, seeking redress as copyright holders, convinced Judge Owen upon a persuasive factual record that they would probably succeed on the merits, that the appellants had plagiarized their textbook, and that there was need for immediate relief. There was a sufficient basis for the findings and conclusions of the District Court and since they are not clearly erroneous, Fed.R. Civ.P. 52(a), we affirm.
