Sarony, 111 U.S. 53 Full title original language N/A Abstract A Supreme Court decision on the issue of copyright protection of photographs. The decision rejected various challenged to the copyrightability of a photograph of Oscar including a claim of lack of originality based on the alleged mechanical nature of photography. While the decision rejected the originality challenge, it construed the originality requirement in broad terms that questioned the eligibility for copyright protection of many other photographic works.
