The Court upheld the trial judge's findings that the respondents' questionnaire was an original literary work protected by copyright, that the appellant had used and reproduced a substantial and qualitatively important part of it (established by sequence, tabular forms, unusual phrasing and expert evidence), and that the questionnaire was confidential because it embodied skill and judgment; the appellant had obtained it without authority and used it, constituting misuse of confidential information and copyright infringement, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
