	BATJAC PROD. INC. v. GOODTIMES HOME VIDEO, 160 F.3d 1223 (9th Cir. 1998)
		Batjac's analysis of the cited sections' use of limiting language or obvious context to modify the term "copyright" is a plausible interpretation of the 1909 Act.
		Batjac held copyright in both the motion picture and the screenplay and, as a result, was able to fully exploit the profit making potential of the screenplay in any manner it chose.
		Batjac argues that the passage is not dicta because the Court was directly considering and rejecting a point made by the dissent.

		Batjac waited for digital technology to evolve so that the missing reels of The High And The Mighty could be restored from second-generation sources and made to look acceptable for a DVD release.

		The treats include in-depth documentaries, original trailers, stills unearthed from the Batjac vaults and other materials overseen by film historian and critic Leonard Maltin, whose boyish enthusiasm and devotion to the past is infectious.

		The Court found that for Federal dilution one weighs similarity of the products, sophistication of the consumer, renown of the senior mark and trade dress.
		In other words, for Section 201(b) to come into act as a bar, the product must be the subject of a commercial offer for sale and the invention must be ready for patenting.
		The latter can be satisfied by either proof of reduction to practice before the critical date or by proof that prior to the critical date the inventor had prepared drawings or other descriptions of the invention that were sufficiently specific to enable a person skilled in the art to practice the invention.

		The ultra-cheap production values deflate the effort to put some noir atmosphere into the thing, but the main problem is leading man Campbell, who was a cross between Vince Edwards and a young Tony Curtis, but without the attitude.
		Brought to the screen by JOHN WAYNE’s Batjac production company, GLENN FORD (Gilda, Blackboard Jungle) stars as American insurance adjuster Al Colby, a man who unwittingly becomes involved with a fortune in ancient curios after being asked to carry a mysterious package aboard a ship sailing from Havana to Mexico.
		THE BATJAC SUSPENSE COLLECTION is truly a mixed bag of four films and may be of interest based purely on your point of view about the importance of films as mere entertainment or the development of film techniques in general.

		Because of the emphasis on the Batjac productions on the second disc, we can assume that the other titles will be along in due course.

		For many years thought to be lost, Seven Men from Now only recently has been rediscovered and restored to its former Techni-color glory by the UCLA Film Archive.
		Although a Batjac production, this was the first of the six collaborations now known as the Ranown cycle named after the Scott-Brown production company.
		Suddenly Wayne liked it, so the story goes, and passed it on to Boetticher, who found the script 'brilliant' and readily agreed to Wayne's condition that Scott, then near the end of his acting career, play the lead.
