Fox Film Corp. v. Knowles

Fox Film Corp. v. Knowles, 261 U.S. 326 (1923), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held the statute intends that an executor, there being no widow, widower, or child, shall have the same right to renew a copyright for a second term as his testator might have exercised had he continued to survive.

This case was reaffirmed in Miller Music Corp. v. Charles N. Daniels, Inc..
