A dispute over "trolls" has given the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit its first crack at interpreting so-called "restored" copyrights. The circuit upheld a preliminary injunction issued in favor of a Danish maker of troll dolls that blocked a rival company from selling "Wish-nik" trolls as it enforced a restored copyright held by the firm. Denmark's Dam Things Establishment obtained a U.S. copyright for the troll doll in 1965 and licensed it to companies that produced it off and on over the years.
