US Supreme Ct "Feist" Decision

As a non-American, I am not familiar with the "Feist" decision concerning ancient/medieval texts published in print. I have now run up against a firm planning to use excerpts from our books. Can someone supply me with a date/reference for this decision, and any short analysis of its meaning and any limitations.

    This is also of interest to our European partners/distributors who may run up against similar problems over the texts they publish.
