MARTIN V. LITTLE, BROWN & CO.
304 Pa.Super. 424, 450 A.2d 984 (1981)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over a reward for copyright violations. Martin (P)
challenged an order, which sustained Little's (D) preliminary objections in the nature of a
demurrer and held no contract existed between the parties and that D was not entitled to
recovery on quantum meruit.
FACTS: Martin (P) sent a letter to D telling them about plagiarized material and D
requested a copy of the material and P sent them the material. P eventually discovered that
D was pursuing a copyright claim based on the material P had submitted. P demanded
compensation for his services. D offered an honorarium in the form of a check for two
hundred dollars. P retained the check and filed suit to recover one third of the proceeds of
the copyright infringement suit. P's suit was demurred and dismissed and P appealed.
