Question

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 manufacturing and selling garments with a similar, but not exact, design, United Fabrics filed a copyright infringement suit against Macy’s.

Answer 1

United Fabrics will probably win the lawsuit against Macy's since copyright infringement does not require an exact same copy of the original product.

The fact that United Fabrics bought the fabric design gives them exclusive rights to make product reproductions or develop derivative products. They also have exclusive rights to distribute and publicly display these products.
