  • DC COMICS V. TOWLE ______
    DC COMICS v. TOWLE ________________________________________________________ Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 2015 802 F.3d 1012 OPINION IKUTA, Circuit Judge: We are asked to decide whether defendant Mark Towle infringed DC Comics’ exclusive rights under a copyright when he built and sold replicas of the Batmobile, as it appeared in the 1966 television show Batman and the 1989 film BATMAN. Holy copyright law, Batman! I DC Comics (DC) is the publisher and copyright owner of comic books featuring the story of the world-famous character, Batman. Since his first comic book appearance in 1939, the Caped Crusader has protected Gotham City from villains with the help of his sidekick Robin the Boy Wonder, his utility belt, and of course, the Batmobile. Originally introduced in the Batman comic books in 1941, the Batmobile is a fictional, high-tech automobile that Batman employs as his primary mode of transportation. The Batmobile has varied in appearance over the years, but its name and key characteristics as Batman’s personal crime-fighting vehicle have remained consistent. Over the past eight decades, the comic books have continually depicted the Batmobile as possessing bat-like external features, ready to leap into action to assist Batman in his fight against Gotham’s most dangerous villains, and equipped with futuristic weaponry and technology that is “years ahead of anything else on wheels.” Since its creation in the comic books, the Batmobile has also been depicted in numerous television programs and motion pictures. Two of these depictions are relevant to this case: the 1966 television series Batman, starring Adam West, and the 1989 motion picture BATMAN, starring Michael Keaton.

Il contesto Durante la prima guerra mondiale, l'industria meccanica tedesca era impegnata a migliorare la potenza e l'affidabilità delle nuove "macchine volanti" che, per la prima volta, rivestivano un importante ruolo bellico. Anche la Daimler aveva messo a punto un motore aeronautico, realizzato dalla consociata austriaca Austro- Daimler e sviluppato da Max Friz, uno dei brillanti ingegneri del reparto corse Daimler, la cui attività era sospesa a causa della guerra. Commissionata dal governo austriaco, per ragioni di celerità produttiva, la costruzione dei motori Austro- Daimler venne affidata alla licenziataria bavarese Rapp Motorenwerke, ditta nella quale anche Friz si trasferì, con la speranza di veder realizzato il suo progetto per un motore d'aereo con sei cilindri in linea e albero a camme in testa, in grado di funzionare a quote molto elevate; ben oltre i 5.000 metri. Alla Rapp, in veste di supervisore tecnico dell'aviazione militare austro-ungarica, era presente l'ingegnere Josef Popp, al quale Friz mostrò i disegni del suo nuovo motore. Popp capì immediatamente che si trattava di un propulsore tecnologicamente molto avanzato e ne caldeggiò la realizzazione a Julius Auspitzer, cofondatore e unico azionista della Rapp Motorenwerke.

No. v. 2:11-cv-03934- RSWL-OP MARK TOWLE, an individual, DBA Garage Gotham, Defendant-Appellant. OPINION Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Ronald S.W. Lew, Senior District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted February 5, 2015—Pasadena, California Filed September 23, 2015 Before: Michael J. Melloy,* Jay S. Bybee, and Sandra S. Ikuta, Circuit Judges. Opinion by Judge Ikuta * The Honorable Michael J. Melloy, Senior Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, sitting by designation. 2 DC COMICS V. TOWLE SUMMARY** Copyright / Trademark The panel affirmed the district court’s summary judgment in a copyright and trademark infringement action brought by DC Comics against a maker of Batmobile replicas. The panel held that the Batmobile, as it appeared in the Batman comic books, television series, and motion picture, was entitled to copyright protection because this automotive character was a sufficiently distinctive element of the works. The panel held that DC Comics owned a copyright interest in the Batmobile character, as expressed in the 1966 television series and the 1989 motion picture, because it did not transfer its underlying rights to the character when it licensed rights to produce derivative works. The panel held that the defendant’s replica cars infringed on DC Comics’ copyrights. The panel affirmed the district court’s ruling that the defendant could not assert a laches defense to DC Comics’ trademark infringement claim because he willfully infringed DC’s trademarks.
