WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court agreed this week to consider videographer Frederick Allen’s appeal of a circuit court ruling he claims unfairly deprived him of his intellectual property rights related to his coverage of the salvaging of a ship off the North Carolina coast that was owned by the pirate Blackbeard.
The Supreme Court granted Allen’s petition for certiorari on June 3. The case is expected to come before the court for oral arguments in the fall term.
