(IN CHAMBERS) Application to File Amicus Brief (DE 35)

On April 27, 2016, Language Creation Society (“Amicus”) submitted an Application for Leave
to File Brief as Amicus Curiae. Amicus argues in support of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss that the
Klingon language should not be entitled to copyright protection. In analyzing and ruling on Defendants’
Motion to Dismiss, the Court does not reach the issue of whether languages, and specifically the
Klingon language, are copyrightable. Therefore, none of the information provided by Amicus is
necessary to dispose of the Motion to Dismiss.
Accordingly, the Court DENIES Language Creation Society’s Application without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
