A federal judge in Camden has issued an injunction against sales of a book by Commerce Bank founder Vernon Hill II after finding that it infringed on the copyright to an earlier work written by Hill but owned by TD Bank.
Hill was ordered to stop selling his 2012 book, “Fans! Not Customers—How to Create Growth Companies in a No Growth World.” In July 2015, U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler of the District of New Jersey found the book infringed TD Bank’s copyright on a manuscript written by Hill in 2007, but denied TD Bank’s motion for a permanent injunction, finding no evidence that the infringement would continue. But on June 14 Kugler granted the permanent injunction based on new evidence that Hill was marketing and selling his book.
