Unicolors v. H&M Hennes & Mauritz, L. P.

Unicolors sued H&M for copying one of its fabric designs, and H&M argued that Unicolors’ copyright registration was invalid because its application inaccurately grouped 31 designs together as a single publication. The case asked whether that kind of mistake defeats a copyright registration when the applicant did not know the information was inaccurate, including because it misunderstood the law.
