Laches Bars Prospective Injunctive Relief in Copyright Infringement Case: Ninth Circuit | Practical Law

RSA Network, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court’s grant of summary judgment dismissing RSA’s copyright infringement claim on grounds of laches. This case is notable for the Ninth Circuit’s holding that RSA's laches barred the availability of prospective injunctive relief.
