Naruto v. Slater: Copyright Case Summary by MariaFaithFloresFelisarta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a copyright infringement lawsuit filed on behalf of a macaque monkey named Naruto. While the court found that Naruto had Article III standing to sue, it held that he lacked statutory standing under the Copyright Act, as the Act does not expressly authorize animals to file copyright infringement actions.
