Stevens v. Gladding, 58 U.S. 447 (1854), was aUnited States Supreme Court case in which the Court held the copyright of a work is not attached to the physical copperplate used to print the work, so purchasing the copperplate does not purchase the copyright.[1]

It also applied a principle fromEnglish law thatcourts of equity could not award penalties and concluded that copyright infringement damages categorically could not be awarded byequity, as distinguished from legal actions undercommon law. This meant that copyright holders would be required to file separate lawsuits forinjunctions against the continued printing of works created by them (equity) and for requesting retroactive payment from infringers (law). That procedural requirement remained in place until thefederal courts merged the law and equity dockets in 1938.[2]

This case is closely related toStephens v. Cady.[3]
