Lucasfilm Ltd v Ainsworth : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lucasfilm Ltd v Ainsworth
''Lucasfilm Limited v Ainsworth'' was a 2011 court ruling by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. The case concerned an intellectual property dispute over the production of Lucasfilm's Stormtrooper costumes by model maker Andrew Ainsworth. Mr Ainsworth argued that the helmets, which he continues to manufacture and sell, were functional props covered only by design right legislation, as opposed to Lucasfilm's assertion that they were sculptures or art which fall under copyright law. Design right protection is retained for 15 or 10 years, copyright protection can last considerably longer. == Case background == The Stormtrooper character first appeared in the film ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope''. The character was conceived by George Lucas, designed by artist Ralph McQuarrie, sculpted by from Liz Moore and Brian Muir, and finally molded from the existing designs by Andrew Ainsworth. Before the case came to court, Ainsworth had sold replica Stormtrooper outfits online for many years causing Lucasfilm to sue for infringement of copyright.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Judgement: Lucasfilm Limited and others (Appellants) v Ainsworth and another (Respondents) )〕 Ainsworth did not defend the 2006 case in the US courts, and the United States District Court for the Central District of California gave summary judgement in favour of Lucasfilm, awarding a USD $20 million compensation.
