he COPYRIGHTED A FACADE
French Architect Sued the Imltators
and the Case Was Decided Against
His Heirs.

The strangest copyright question
ever debated came before q Paris
court, when it was asked to decide the
controverted copyright of house. An
architect at Boulogne-sur-Sein had
built several apartment houses on a
piece Of ground belonging to him and
had devised an original facade of col
ored bricks. He, at least, considered
it original, as when the houses were
finished he had plate, with an in
scription, placed on the walls, to the
effect that the facade Of the house
was his copyright and limitations were
prohibited. Seeing a building In Paris
some time afterwards which had lust
been completed, the architect thought
that the facade, which was also of
colored bricks, was nothing but an
imitation of his own. He began a
lawsuit against the owner and the
architect for infringement Of the copy
right laws, but soon afterward he died.
His heirs, however, continued the law
suit, which has now been decided by
the court. Three experts were called.
They agreed that the facade Of the
house at Boulogne-sur-Seine was Pc
culiar, and might even be allowed the
protection Of the copyright laws; but,
on the other hand, the house built in
Paris was equally original and there
was no proof that it had been copied
from the others. The architect, or
rather his heirs, therefore. lost their
case.
