Nutt v. National Institute Inc. (2d Cir. 1929) was an early case in which it was found that copyright extended beyond the words of a work. The court found that "The infringement need not be a complete or exact copy. Paraphrasing or copying with evasion is an infringement, even though there may be little or no conceivable identity between the two." ==Background== Nutt had been a partner of the author of a series of lectures on "How to Improve Memory" until October 1922, when he branched out on his own. In October 1925 the author of the lectures was granted copyright for them. His filing said they had been developed and refined over the three-year period. He formed a company called the National Institute Incorporated for the Improvement of Memory, becoming president of the company and assigning his copyright in the lectures to the company in December 1927. In December 1927 Nutt delivered his version of the lectures. The National Institute filed a claim of copyright violation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nutt v.
