Spotlight on Macy’s—Copyright Infringement.
United Fabrics International, Inc., bought a fabric design from an Italian designer and registered a copyright to it with the U.S. Copyright Office. When Macy’s, Inc., began selling garments with a similar design, United filed a copyright infringement suit against Macy’s.
