BILLINGS, MONT. — The question of whether renderings of ancient dinosaurs can be copyright-protected as original “art” remains unresolved after a settlement was reached in a federal lawsuit in Montana over bone castings from three well-known Tyrannosaurus rex specimens.
Because of the settlement, a hearing scheduled for today that would have struck at the heart of the dispute was canceled by U.S. District Judge Sam Haddon.
Parties in the case said Monday that they could not reveal the terms of the deal .
