UC Berkeley Law; Intellectual Property Influence
"An article by Professor Pamela Samuelson has been selected as one of the best intellectual property papers of 2025 and will be included in the next edition of the Intellectual Property Law Review, published annually by Thomson Reuters. It’s the seventh time one of her articles has been recognized this way.
“Justification for Fair Uses,” published in 2025 in the Wisconsin Law Review, explains the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith. Samuelson argues that the ruling preserved the standards for analyzing fair–use defenses the Court laid out in its 1984 Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. decision.
“Contrary to what some have mistakenly asserted, nothing in Warhol abjures the rich body of fair use case law, both before and after Campbell, that has recognized many types of fair use justifications,” Samuelson writes."
