Abstract: Michael Skidmore v Led Zeppelin No 16-56057, DC No 2:15-cv-03462-RGK-AGR, 9 March 2020. The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal upheld that Led Zeppelin's song Stairway to Heaven did not infringe the copyright of the instrumental song ‘Taurus’ and overruled circuit precedent to reject the inverse ratio rule.

Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice, 2020. doi:10.1093/jiplp/jpaa055 The first version of this article stated that Let’s Get It On was written in 1973, so would fall under the 1976 Act, rather than under the 1909 Act. This has now been corrected online. The author regrets the error. See: https://academic.oup.com/jiplp/article-pdf/doi/10.1093/jiplp/jpaa105/33689026/jpaa105.pdf .
