= The Time and Text Limits of Fair Use: =
 * When using a copyright, you can use it up to two years without permission. There are other limitations that can affect the use of the material, for example when using a multimedia piece you can use 10% of the clip or up to three minutes total. While using text you must cite where the information is coming from and can only use up to 10% or a 1000 words from a source. Also without permission from the source, a person may only retain two copies of any given work. **

=** What are the Tests of Brevity and Spontaneity: **=

=

 * The copy of work must meet the Brevity and Spontaneity tests whenever using any piece of information. The brevity portion limits how much of the text or other source that you can copy. Some of these examples are also shown in text limits of fair use. Furthermore, the spontaneity portion is when the consumer uses the work/source suddenly and isn't planned. This makes asking for permission almost impossible and follows the "one semester" rule. **=====

= How long does the copyright last? =
 * For any sources and work created after 1978 the works last the authors lifetime plus another 70 years after their death. Sources owned by your employer or any anonymous author will last for a total of 95 years from the date it was published. If the work is not published the copyright will last 120 years from any creation of unpublished work. **

= Court Cases Involving Fair Use: =

=

 * The case involved a claim of fair use where there was a dispute between two rival companies. The both were using the term "micro color" within their product in use of marketing and selling the brand. KP Permanent claimed that they used the term "micro color" within their company and Lasting Impressions used "MicroColors."
