Bikram Prepares for Appeal to SCOTUS in Copyright Infringement Case

Well that didn’t take long…

Yoga guru Bikram Choudhury has begun laying the groundwork for an appeal to the US Supreme Court of his copyright infringement case in which he has lost at the district and appellate levels. The three-judge panel that heard his 9th Circuit appeal granted his motion and issued an order today staying their mandate for 90 days pending the filing of a petition for writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court.

No word yet on the odds of the Supreme Court granting cert, but the optics of such a case being argued in front of Scalia & Co. is definitely tantalizing.
