9th Circuit rejects Righthaven bid to block auction of copyrights
Source: Vegas Inc (Las Vegas Sun)
Copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC of Las Vegas is now 0-2 when it comes to urgent appeals to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
The court, without much comment, on Tuesday rejected Righthaven’s emergency motion of Dec. 20 in which it asked the court to block the planned auction of its intellectual property including its trademark and copyrights.
The court simply denied the motion and cited case law — as it did with an earlier “urgent motion” it rejected on Oct. 19.
