Judge Carew |
Judge Carew was Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court. When Helen Kane appealed her $250,000 Infringement Lawsuit and sought another injunction by appeal[1] against the Fleischer Studios and Paramount Pictures after losing to a judgement by Justice Judge Edward J. McGoldrick on the grounds that Kane's "baby-talk" singing, scatting style[2] , interpolation of hot licks[3], mannerisms and look was unoriginal due to lack of evidence.[4]
Judge Carew held no one could copyright a voice[5] and Miss Kane did not hold the copyright on the actions of the Fleischer character Betty Boop.
This decision prohibited Helen Kane from further appeal.
Miss Kane based her action on the grounds that Fleischer and Paramount used her voice, and originality in the cartoons by Fleischer in his Out of the Inkwell shorts without her permission.
