The importance of timely registration with the U.S. Copyright Office was highlighted in a landmark copyright infringement case, where a jury awarded full statutory damages of $150,000 for each act of willful infringement across 42 photographs taken by architectural photographer Scott Hargis, culminating in a total of $6.3 million in statutory damages.
