Hey does that mean libraries using DDC would be paying
OCLC $500 per year....?
It is serious...!!! Please Check the last line of the
Quote given below:
"......In the lawsuit filed last week, lawyers for the
Online Computer Library Center said the organization
acquired the rights to the system in 1988 when it
bought Forest Press, which published Dewey Decimal
updates. The center charges libraries that use the
system at least $500 per year....."
IT IS HEIGHT OF IPR PROTECTION.!!

Ever heard about the Library Hotel? Library Hotel is a library-themed luxury hotel in Manhattan. 10 floors of the Library Hotel are divided according to the Dewey classification system, with each floor dedicated to one of Dewey's 10 categories. Interesting? Well, OCLC has filed a suite against this hotel for trademark infringement. I am just leaving it here. To know more about this news, go to
