Opinion of the Court in Stowe v. Thomas

Record Group 21: Records of District Courts of the United StatesSeries: Equity Case FilesFile Unit: Stowe v. Thomas, Case #9 October Session 1852

Calvin E Stowe & [bracket] In CC. US. E.D. of Penn Harriet Beecher-Stowe vs In chancery F W Thomas [end bracket] Submitted on bill & answer Opinion of the Court The bill in this case alleges that Mrs Stowe is the author & proprietor of a work called, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and has obtained a copyright for the same in due form of law; that the defendant has translated into German, printed published and sold the same in newspaper & pamphlet form; [struck through] That such translation is an infringement of complainants copyright; And therefore prays an injunction account &c. The answer admits the facts stated in the bill, but denies that such translating printing publishing &c is an infringement of complainants copyright. The question raised by these pleadings, has not been decided either in England or this country in a case where it is directly involved2. Pardessus cours [bracket] In many of the states of Europe, it has been made the de droit commer subject of special legislation. In France, jurists appear Part. 2 [T?]. 1 to be divided in opinion. Pardessus is of opinion, that No 164 [end bracket] a translation is not an infringement of copyright, Renouard on the contrary argues that ^it^ is. Mr. Godson, in his work Renouard [bracket] on Patents concurs unto Pardessus, Mr Curtis in his Tom 2. Page 36. [end bracket] treatise on copyright unto Renouard In this balance of opinions among learned jurists, we must endeavor to find some ascertained principles of the common law as established by [struck through] judicial decision, on which to found our conclusion In order to decide what is an infringement of an authors rights, we must inquire, what constitutes literary property; and what is [struck through] recognized as such by the act of congress, and secured & protected [struck through] thereby. An author may be said to be the creator or inventor both of the ideas ^contained in his book^ and the combination of words to represent them. Before publication he has the exclusive possession of his invention. His dominion is perfect. [full transcription at link]
