In Marcus v. Rowley, a teacher of adult education classes wrote a 35 page booklet on cake decorating. A public school teacher who took the plaintiffs class, bought a copy of the booklet. Later the public school teacher prepared her own 24 page booklet on cake decorating which included 11 pages of the plaintiffs booklet and used it in her public school classes. The court found infringement and no fair use.
