Description
HAYS, Circuit Judge: This is an action to determine the ownership under the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 24,1 of the renewal copyright interest in eighty-seven songs written either alone or in collaboration with others by Walter Donaldson. Ownership is claimed by defendant under a contract, dated May 15, 1928, between Donaldson and the defendant, known at that time as Donaldson, Douglas & Gumble, Inc. Donaldson died before the commencement of the renewal term. His two surviving children obtained renewal copyrights which they assigned to the plaintiff, Donaldson Publishing Company. This appeal is from an order and judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, dismissing plaintiff's complaint and declaring defendant to be the owner of the renewal copyrights.2 We hold that plaintiff is the rightful owner of the title to the renewal copyrights. The decision is therefore reversed and the case remanded to the district court.
