In September, the sculptor responsible for the design of the Korean War Memorial was awarded $685,000 in damages after the USPS used a photo of the memorial on a stamp without the permission of the copyright holder. In that case, a federal court found that the copyright holder was entitled to a ten percent royalty on sales of stamps to collectors, and on sales of merchandise featuring the stamp design.
And in the case of the Korean War Memorial, the USPS issued perhaps tens of millions stamps as a "commemorative"; the Lady Liberty stamp, however, was a definitive that was issued in the billions (with a "b")...if a court rules the copyright owner is entitled to a 10% royalty on that number ... $$$$ are at stake!
